An oasis of luxury and enchantment, Al Maha lies within an award-winning conservation area where desert wildlife abounds.

Restaurants
& Bars
The finest international chefs ensure guests enjoy the very highest culinary standards, wherever they choose to dine - from the relaxed informality of Al Diwaan restaurant and its alfresco veranda, to the intimacy of a romantic meal on the private deck of a guest suite. With a variety of options from the Middle East and Mediterranean, and with special theme menus featuring Indian, Sri Lankan and Japanese dishes, Al Maha's cuisine is exotic and enticing.
Activities
Guests are entitled to two complimentary on-site activities during their stay at Al Maha. Traditional desert pursuits, such as falconry, camel treks, horse riding and archery, recall a former way of life. For sheer excitement, an outing in a rugged four-wheel drive vehicle cannot be beaten. In contrast, guided nature walks offer a quieter and more informative way to experience the desert. Guests can also choose from a number of exciting off-site activities that can be arranged by Al Maha's dedicated Guest Relations Coordinators, which are managed and operated by specialist local ground operators.
