Al Maha Desert Resort

Dubai is one of the destinations that makes many people think of a stay at a luxurious hotel. Al Maha is one of the sites of luxury in the heart of the desert that provides you with both tradition and technology simultaneously. 

The decision to build Al Mahal, Dubai, was taken when the Dubai government planned to take some steps toward saving the desert ecosystem. The first steps towards implementing this decision were born in 2002, the date of the hotel’s establishment. Finally, in 2006, the hotel was opened and soon became one of the main tourist attractions that could attract the elite worldwide.

The hotel owes its great fame partly to its incredible architecture. Al Maha, Dubai, also benefits from the founders’ measures towards nature and ecosystem sustainability, for which they have been appreciated and awarded many times.
