Following the grand success of last year’s Arabic-inspired Christmas brunch at Al Diwaan and guests’ demand, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa is launching a series of curated dinners for guests to enjoy a unique dining experience under the Arabian desert’s starry sky.

Set in a lush palm oasis, deep within Dubai’s magical dune and desert landscape of Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the Bedouin-style resort promises blissful quiescence. The luxury desert hideaway is a short 50-minute drive from Dubai and instantly transports you to a haven of luxury and tranquility, courtesy the Bedouin inspired architecture, ultimate man-made comforts and desert trails, offering guests a true sense of desert adventure. Combining the fabled Bedouin way of life with traditional Emirati hospitality, guests at Al Maha can enjoy the ultimate dune dining experience on Friday, 26th October, 2018 with the extravagant Desert Moon Dinner.

Maintaining the hallmarks of the desert getaway’s luxury offerings, guests will arrive at the resort in a luxurious limo, to catch the majestic sunset with a signature bubbly. Upping the ante is the resort’s culinary team that has curated an extravagant buffet, post sundowner, with an array of offerings for starters and main course. Featuring an assortment of international favourites, live grill stations and decadent treats, guests can fully imbibe the desert ambience as gazelles and Arabian oryx wander freely. Foot tapping acoustics of the live Kanon band enjoyed with uninterrupted views of the infinite desert skyline, enables guests to enjoy a distinctive, Arabic-inspired al fresco experience at Al Maha.

“Nestled within a timeless oasis of the Arabian desert, Al Maha’s fabled charm is a nod to Bedouin heritage and distinctive culture of the desert environment. Following the success of last year’s Christmas brunch at Al Diwaan, our culinary team, starting 26th October, 2018, has curated a series of al fresco dinners that imbibe traditions of Emirati hospitality and the Bedouin way of life. Set amid the royal desert’s starry peacefulness, with live stations and foot tapping acoustics, we invite our guests to come and enjoy the ultimate dune dining experience at Al Maha,” says Patrick Antaki, Complex General Manager of Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa and Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort, Fujairah.
