Itinerary

Day 1
Dubai Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is one of the country's main cities, sometimes called "Dubai City" to distinguish it from the emirate. Famous for its soaring skyline rising from the desert, it is a relatively new, world-class city, which is growing quickly. Famous sights like the Burj Dubai, the world's only six star hotel, and the massive Palms mini-city, and its indoor ski hills - its an exciting city and worth a stopover. A representative will meet and greet you upon your arrival into Dubai, with a welcome package and transfer you to your hotel. Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is set in 225 square kilometres of pristine desert landscape just 45 minutes from the cosmopolitan city of Dubai, the thriving centre of commerce and leisure in the Gulf. It represents nearly five per cent of Dubai's land area and is the largest piece of land ever dedicated to a single project in Dubai. An oasis of luxury and enchantment, Al Maha lies within an award-winning conservation area where desert wildlife abounds. It's also the only resort within the area where visitors can experience the true beauty and majesty of the desert and observe the indigenous wildlife. Overnight at Al Maha Desert Resort. |
