EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Luxury Desert Safari


Experience the grandeur of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve with Al Maha's bespoke desert safari. Traverse the golden sands in luxurious 4x4s, guided by experienced Bedouin trackers. Witness the desert's diverse fauna – from Arabian oryx to gazelles. As dusk falls, indulge in a gourmet dinner beneath the canopy of stars. The combination of thrilling adventure and opulent comfort makes this an unforgettable desert sojourn.

Falconry Display


Engage with the age-old Bedouin tradition of falconry. At Al Maha, trained falconers demonstrate the hunting prowess of these majestic birds. Learn about the deep cultural significance falconry holds in Emirati heritage and marvel at the synchronicity between bird and handler. To enhance the experience, guests can don a traditional glove and have these magnificent raptors land gracefully on their arm.

Horseback Desert Exploration


Mount a purebred Arabian horse and traverse the serene landscapes of Al Maha. Guided by expert equestrians, this experience provides a unique perspective of the desert. Feel the rhythmic gait of the horse as you meander through undulating dunes, capturing the essence of traditional desert transport, all while basking in the backdrop of pristine wilderness.

Sunset Camel Trekking


As the sun begins its descent, casting a warm golden hue over the dunes, embark on a serene camel trek. Experience the 'ships of the desert' in their natural habitat, slowly navigating the sands. The trek concludes with traditional Arabic coffee and dates, allowing guests a moment of reflection as they watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of red and purple.

Dune Dining Experience


Al Maha takes desert dining to new heights. Guests can choose a secluded dune, where a private chef prepares a sumptuous meal illuminated by lanterns and the starlit sky. Feel the cool desert breeze and listen to the tranquil sounds of nature as you savour gourmet dishes, making for a dining experience that's as much about the ambiance as it is about the cuisine.

Desert Spa Treatments


At the heart of Al Maha lies the Timeless Spa, a sanctuary of rejuvenation. Opt for treatments inspired by traditional Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian therapies. With floor-to-ceiling windows in treatment rooms, guests can unwind with a massage or facial, all while gazing out at the vast expanse of the desert, making the spa journey one of relaxation and mesmerizing views.
