The Bedouin Suite @ Al Maha

LARGE View

My wife and I recently spent 3 nights in the fabulous Al Maha resort in the middle of the desert, 1 hour drive from Dubai. Each suite has its own private temperature controlled swimming pool, and a wonderful view on the desert and its wildlife (oryx and gazelles), and you feel completely isolated. Service and food is top class. Several activities are included such as camel rides, falconry, dune safari. A few more shots to come.

The large view is a MUST here! Wonderful colour in front leading into the warmth of the background (the resort?). I especially like the see through of the water in front and how yoy have managed to keep the reflection so clear. Fantastic work Daniel!

Allright camel rides!

Camels are possibly the things ruder than New York Cab drivers, although I don't think camels can spit as far.
