XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

An exclusive oasis styled after a traditional Bedouin encampment, the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa introduces its guests to all the customs, wildlife and dramatic beauty of the Arabian Desert. A secluded place where a delicate balance between state–of–the–art technology and unspoilt nature has been achieved. Set amidst the sand dunes of a 225–square–kilometre reserve, Al Maha is far removed from all distractions.

Al Maha’s luxurious accommodation is provided by separate, free–standing suites with its award–winning Bedouin Suites ideally suited to individuals seeking even greater privacy. The en–suite, temperature–controlled swimming pools in all suites have been significantly enlarged to enhance the pleasure of using this peacefully indulgent attraction.

Camel–trekking, horse–riding, guided nature walks and four–wheel drive safaris all bring the surrounding desert plains up close and personal. Oryx, gazelle and fox are just a sample of the wildlife that can be spotted, whilst falconry exhibitions display a traditional art long forgotten elsewhere.
