Located within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Al Maha is a lush oasis in the middle of the desert, just a 40 minute drive from the bustling city of Dubai. This unique site serves as a sanctuary for the flora and fauna that inhabits the landscape, giving guests a chance to get up close and personal with the desert’s natural beauty.

For those looking for an adrenaline rush, a 4x4 adventure through the sea of sand is an exhilarating experience, guided by experienced drivers who navigate the dunes with ease and precision.
Drive deep into the desert to the Anantara Qasr Al Sarab resort in the stunning Liwa Oasis. This 3.5 hour journey covers 218 miles and takes you through towering sand dunes to the resort, which appears like a mirage on the horizon. Spend the day taking in the breathtaking views of the desert that surrounds this secluded haven, a testament to the beauty and mystery of the Arabian desert. Guests can enjoy a handful of exclusive experiences unique to the resort, from camel trekking to falconry displays.

Every corner has a new discovery, so you'll leave with not just souvenirs but memories of a city that fascinates with its diversity and energy.
As your journey comes to a close, depart from Dubai, carrying with you the memories of a land where tradition and modernity exist in harmony. The 86-mile return trip to Dubai marks the end of your adventure through the UAE, leaving you enriched by the experiences and ready to embark on your next adventure.
This tour, “Luxury Emirates Escape” was inspired by the desire to showcase the UAE’s dynamic contrast between the serene beauty of its deserts and the bustling vibrancy of its cities.
The rich history of the UAE and its states, each with their own unique identity and cultural heritage, played a key role in shaping the tour’s design. We were motivated by the unique blend of modern luxury and rich cultural heritage found in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, alongside the natural splendour of Al Maha.
The intriguing destinations, beautiful attractions, and the opportunity to engage with the local culture and wildlife drove the design of this expedition, making it ideal for those interested in a comprehensive experience encompassing activities, nature, culture, and wildlife.
