This beautiful desert lodge has got to offer one of the most ethereal experiences you can have in the Dubai desert. After a long haul flight from Australia and a journey ahead of us in Ethiopia, we checked in to Al Maha for an incredible Emirati experience in the desert.

Emirati culture is at the forefront of everything Al Maha offers guests (more on that later), including welcome dates, tea and nuts inside the suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3-750x937.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-3.jpg 1639w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 42 suites in total, each of them facing their own epic view of the sunrise over the dunes. With greenery and privacy walls you often feel like you have the entire desert all to yourself. Each suite boasts its\u2019 own plunge pool which is a great way to cool off during those hot desert days! In fact we would spend much of the morning and afternoon enjoying the pool and sounds of the desert but find ourselves to hot during the day to even enjoy the pool (which is where the air con comes in handy!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-7.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review-1024x647.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review-750x474.png 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-Dubai-Review.png 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Around the Lodge at Al Maha<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself checking in to Al Maha I would recommend a minimum of two nights to really enjoy the property. Once you\u2019ve come to terms with how well-appointed your suite is, be sure to explore the rest of the property and make use of everything on site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a beautiful spa located on site with a full treatment menu (for an additional charge), as well as complimentary use of the sauna, steam and cold plunge pool. Opposite the sauna you will find the fitness centre that is fairly basic but does have everything you need to work out during your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just outside the spa is a large swimming pool that is rarely occupied &#8211; perhaps because each suite has their own private pool. As you find yourself walking around the property you will likely encounter a range of wildlife, including the iconic Oryx who roam the desert freely and are often found near the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-16.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-15.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Activities at Al Maha<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Room rates at Al Maha include two activities per day so be sure to make the most of this offering to get the full Emirati experience. We chose the sunset sundowners on the first evening and dune bashing on the second day, opting to forego a second activity each day to make the most of the lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On both occasions we found Oryx wandering the conservation at leisure. These beautiful creatures are endemic to the Dubai Desert, so be sure to pack your camera and if you can, time your activities with sunset for that gorgeous glow of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-10.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Food at Al Maha<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As is always the case with my hotel stays, I take the food review side of things quite seriously (ha!) A self confessed foodie, I\u2019ve come to expect great things from hotels of this calibre and was not disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breakfast buffet at Al Maha is a wide variety of continental options, a self-make waffles and pancakes station, and a delicious selection of Arabic Mezze. Along with the breakfast buffet you can also order a hot breakfast item off the menu. The first morning I chose the egg white omelette with asparagus that was so good I re-ordered it the next day. Part of my decision making process was also to counter-act my choice to overindulge in pan au chocolat pastries from the buffet (not sorry).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose full board for your room rate, you will also enjoy lunch and dinner on site. I would definitely recommend opting for full board if you don\u2019t plan to leave the hotel throughout your stay. Lunches were often on the lighter side, opting for salads and Arabic mezze platters to graze our way through until we couldn\u2019t anymore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner is an extravagant five-course affair, though with our jet lag kicking in we opted for in-room dining at no extra expense. This was a great way to unwind each night and enjoy the privacy of the tented suite which truly was so lovely we found it difficult to leave!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Al Maha Review | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Al-Maha-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book your stay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubai is the perfect stopover city for a few nights to catch up on sleep, enjoy the desert and if you have more time, combine Al Maha with a city stay.
