Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa:
Al Maha was the first desert resort in Dubai, setting the standard for all others that followed. Today, it remains one of the world’s most luxurious and romantic wedding destinations. Just 65km from Dubai, the resort sits deep within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, surrounded by golden dunes, Arabian oryx, and graceful gazelles.
A Magical Desert Backdrop for Your Wedding
Celebrate your love in a private desert oasis where the charm of old Arabia blends seamlessly with modern luxury. The Dubai desert offers a dramatic backdrop for outdoor ceremonies, stunning receptions, and photographs you’ll cherish forever. Away from the city, the peaceful setting gives you and your guests complete privacy.
Indoor and Outdoor Venues
Al Maha Desert Resort offers remarkable indoor and outdoor spaces for up to 300 guests. The Al Majlis Ballroom provides a refined and intimate atmosphere, perfect for elegant wedding receptions.
