Living in the gulf means being more attuned to Arabic designs. I would like to post some snapshots of this beautiful internationally awarded hotel in the middle of the desert. Al Maha Hotel Luxury Collection Desert Resort and Spa.
This was how it looked like when it was opened to the public.

It's an exclusive hideaway that takes pride in prioritizing their guests' privacy. It is true that the guests hardly see each other. Getting there is like crossing borders into a restricted country. You'll encounter two security check points while driving through the desert before reaching the resort. The journey to the hotel feels pretty special as the property is situated lost in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve where you'll find a lot of Arabian Oryx and gazelles.

Note: I'm going to post more images I've come across in the hotel's website to illustrate the difference then and now. There are more greenery now compared to my first and last visit. View below the most recent pictures featured at
Al Maha Resort Gallery.
The design concept of the hotel was inspired by Bedouin tents. Each suite has its own private garden enclave and private swimming pool. A spacious lounge and two bedrooms equipped with custom made super king- sized beds. Check out more photos

The suites are spaced apart so there's no possibility of running into anyone else. It's perfect for a romantic get away.
XOXO,
Arni

What a gorgeous place! I'd love to visit it someday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place, I am in love with the Middle East. Some of the best times in my life were when I lived in Lebanon... part of my heart is still there. Your blog helps me dream and remember how beautiful that region is.
