Al Maha Desert resort is the winner of National Geographic's 2004 World Legacy Award for nature travel. It offers a luxurious way to be at one with nature. The guests get to discover the living desert with its flora and fauna, its colors and scents. One can try riding across shifting dunes on a camel safari, with a guide, then become a part of a falcon-training hunt, or practice archery from under a Bedu tent. Most adventurous activity is indulging in the exciting four-wheel drive across the dunes and wadis or a ride on an Arabian horse through Al Maha's endless desert surroundings. The desert which has remained inspiration for romantics for centuries becomes evident when one dines in the dunes, with just the stars and the setting sun for company. |
