“An unforgettable resort that never loses its charm”

Aug 29, 2025Taka-S-10

After waiting for our son to grow old enough, we finally returned to this resort after ten years, and it felt almost unchanged. The rooms and facilities are so well maintained that we were able to enjoy a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. The activities, many of which are deeply connected to the local traditions and culture, were absolutely fascinating. Each experience was memorable in its own way and has left us with lasting family memories. The service from the staff was exceptional, just as it was ten years ago. In my view, the hospitality here is among the very best in the world. I’m grateful to the entire team, but I would especially like to thank Anais and Caleb, the rangers who took such wonderful care of us during our activities; Joan and Moeka at reception, who handled an unexpected incident with great professionalism; and Fahad, our buggy driver, who was incredibly kind and friendly to our son. Thanks to them, this trip became a truly special experience for our family. I sincerely hope Fahad is reunited with his son back home and that they can spend warm, happy moments together. Before our visit, my son was a little nervous about his first time in the desert and the Middle East. But by the time we checked out, he had completely fallen in love with the resort and was already saying he couldn’t wait to come back. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone - it is, without a doubt, one of the finest resorts in the world.

“Unforgettable Memories at the Best Hotel Ever”

This was my second time staying at Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa. and my friend’s third. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staffs and this time we were received a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in our room to celebrate our return. That’s so great service. Special thanks to Mr. Kero, Miss Moeka and Miss Winnie at the reception for their great service. They were always to assist us with any needs or activity bookings during our stay. The resort is include breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 complimentary activities per day, such as camel treks, archery, sundowner drives, and more. This time, we also received a free Dune Drive for staying three nights (normally AED 310 per person). Between meals, guests can enjoy coffee, tea, and snacks—cookies in the morning and canapés in the afternoon before you will go make an activity in evening. we got a room number 23 same last year, with a stunning view of the desert. In the evenings, if we’re not out on a camel ride, we can see camels caravan passing by our room. We also loved seeing oryx and gazelles around the resort. Its amazing look likes open zoo!! The food was delicious and really nice presented, and the service from every staffs were outstanding!!! A big thank you to our activity guides Alex, Dushan, and Corne. We did several activities including sunset drives, camel treks, archery, and the falcon show. The Dune Drive with Alex was so much fun—he’s funny and made the ride very exciting! Overall, we are very happy and will 100% come back to Al Maha the next time we visit Dubai. Highly recommended!
