Located to the south-east of Dubai, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa (shown on the map) is approximately 1 hr from Dubai International airport.

Restaurants and Cafés

Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa

Fine dining is found at Al Diwaan, overlooking the reserve, in addition to the terrace bar with loungers and tables.  You'll undoubtedly also enjoy sunset at Hajar Terrace Bar.

Madinat Jumeirah Al Naseem

The Jumeirah experience is very much focussed on the enormous selection of dining venues.  With a selection of around 30 options on a half board package you will not be struggling to find something.  Indeed, as part of the Jumeirah package, many of the restaurants are spread across the Madinat Resort as well as their other properties in Dubai, allowing you the opportunity to change the scenery as well as the menu.
