One can't help feeling a little
like Lawrence of Arabia on the journey to the Al Maha Resort in
the heart of Dubai's desert. Al Maha is located 45 minutes away
from Dubai city of Gold. Though 4-wheel drive jeeps have long
since replaced camels as the most common form of transport, the
sense of adventure, privacy and isolation remains. Open since
March 1999, the Al Maha was the first ecotourism resort built in
the United Arab Emirates, home of the indigenous species such as
the Arabian Oryx and Gazelles have been reintroduced and wander
freely.
