We have spent a weekend in Al Maha and our stay was delightful. This place is like something from a movie or a fairytale - wild gazelles roaming around, birds singing and cute, cosy villas with own pool. Not only the nature is great here, but also the staff. All the people that work in Al Maha need a huge praise - they are all super friendly, attentive and helpful. Big thanks especially to Mr Saquib from stables and Ms Rose from archery 🙏🏻 if you are a horse passionate you need to go for the desert hack, it is the best feeling in the world. We will be back for sure ❤️

Al Maha is an incredible place. The villas are private and peaceful, with your own pool and beautiful views of the desert. We really enjoyed the floating breakfast—it was such a nice touch and a great way to start the day. Dinner at the restaurant was also excellent, with great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were kind and attentive, and our personal guide made everything smooth from start to finish. The whole resort feels calm and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We also loved seeing the wildlife around the reserve, especially during sunrise. A truly special place we’d love to return to.

Be careful when choosing your villa, as some of them have an unpleasant smell on the outdoor terrace, making it difficult to relax outside (it smells like animal urine—most likely from birds, as suggested by the fabric roof above). We stayed in Villa 26, while our friend was in Villa 29 and didn’t have this issue. In fact, he even had a much better view than we did—for the same price. We reported this to the hotel and received a small discount of about 1.5% (200 AED out of a total of over 12,000 AED). At the end of our stay, the manager asked us around five times if we would come back—and honestly, probably not because of that experience. Also, there are very few activities (don’t stay more than three days, or you’ll get bored). Hardly any butler service by the pool, no entertainment, and an overall strange value for the price.

I don’t even know where to start – this was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience for me and my husband. Everything was beyond perfect: the service, the breathtaking desert views, the facilities, the activities, the nature – all 100 out of 100. A special shout out to Meoka (I hope I’m spelling it right), the Japanese staff member who made our stay unforgettable. She was absolutely amazing – kind, professional, and so caring. The same can be said about every other staff member we met, especially in the restaurant. We will definitely be back, and I will recommend everyone to come and experience this magical place for themselves.

Al Maha offers a true luxury experience in the middle of the desert. The setting is stunning, and it was amazing to encounter so many desert animals up close. The programs were well organized, giving us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One unexpected moment was spotting a scorpion in the pool, a reminder that you’re right in the heart of nature! Overall, an unforgettable stay and highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique desert escape.
