Middle East Holidays 2022/2023

''From the greeting with fresh juice and cold towels, to the surprise private dinner on the first night, the level of service at Al Maha was exceptional. Every member of staff was friendly, polite and helpful. As honeymooners, we enjoyed being called Mr and Mrs Robson for the first time! Our villa was the perfect size for relaxing during the day and we enjoyed the fantastic views from our private pool out over the desert. An extra touch which we really liked was that binoculars were provided in the room. I had initially thought that we might spot some gazelle or oryx if we were lucky. It soon became clear that they are all over the resort and it was very special so see the gazelle drinking from our pool. Inside the villa, we thought that the rooms were well decorated, very clean and spacious (fantastic bathroom). The staff who performed the morning refreshment and the turndown service were lovely and very unobtrusive. Three nights felt like the perfect amount of time to spend at the resort. We were very relaxed by then and might have burst from eating so much lovely food if we had stayed any longer! That said, there were plenty of activities that we didn’t try so I can see how one could go back numerous times. The food was a particular highlight, all absolutely delicious, plenty of choice and substantial portions. There were also plenty of drinks options with every meal. The only activity we dragged ourselves away from the pool for was the sunset camel ride which was beautiful and very well led. Overall, we loved Al Maha and struggled to see how the honeymoon could get better as we left.''
