Who doesn’t love a nosey on TripAdvisor before they book their holiday? It can make or break your decision to go with a certain hotel. So, when TripAdvisor awards the best hotels in the world, worked out using honest reviews from genuine holidaymakers, we’re likely to sit up and listen.

And we’re chuffed that the beautiful Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa in Dubai has made the top 25 for 2016.

Al Maha is situated deep in the Dubai Desert Conservation reserve on the Al Ain road out of Dubai, just an hour from Downtown Dubai. The star attraction (other than the luxury rooms and facilities) are the Arabian Oryx and gazelles – both indigenous to the area.
