Al Maha Desert Resort

Al Maha Desert Resort is a member of the The Leading Small Hotels of the World. Well they are small in terms of number of rooms, but they are great in terms of customer service, room size and everything. The whole property has 30 tents. Each tent is relevant to a room/suite in a normal hotel. Even the hotel is full, there won’t be more than 100 guests. So we were guaranteed of the most premium level of intensive VIP services.

The following morning, we gathered at the Library and a briefing was done by Gavin and Danielle. They were our barters as well as guides. Actually they were very good at multi-tasking and did whatever we wanted.

I am going to skip details of our meetings, because I’m here to talk about my unique travel experience and not to promote our headhunting business. The group meetings were held privately in a place of our choice within Al Maha. The four of us – John (the boss), Leon, Rita and me gathered at John’s suite. I am not quite sure what type of a suite it was, as at Al Maha, there are four types of suites, namely Bedouin, Royal, Emirates and Presidential. My boss is always luxury for everything, so I assume his suite was the best.


The interior design of my tent is basically the same as a suite, but just smaller in size.

Indeed it was the most luxury suite I have ever come across. At the main entrance, there was a courtyard and a fountain with one bedroom on both sides. These are bedrooms for helpers, not for the host. I assume whoever travel with two helpers must be luxury travellers. Inside the suite, the living room is like the size of a basket ball playground overseeing the private pool. Of course the pool size is much larger than the one at my room. The double bedroom was shared by John and Peter, the other single room was occupied by Leon.

Well, this is only the beginning of my amazing journey at the Al Maha Desert Resort. I have here clipped a video to introduce the Suite Bedouin – just to give you a quick preview of its unique Arabic interior design and the associated environment. The video is nicely taken, however without music background. Please bear with it.

I have browsed Trip Advisor and found that Al Maha Desert Resort is enjoying almost unanimously 5-star rating, which is quite rare. You might want to click and read the reviews.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I shall continue posting about my amazing journey at Al Maha Desert Resort.
