"People often forget that Dubai was originally all desert, and Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is the finest place to go to remind yourself of this fact. Each traditional yet comfortable villa is utterly private and comes with a heat-controlled infinity pool overlooking the dunes. Complimentary excursions and activities, such as wildlife walks and sunset champagne camel rides, are also included in the room rates. Expect a wild Arabian oryx to sip from your pool when you least expect it."
