Google Earth Views: Al Maha Desert Plunge Pools & Dry Heat

October 12, 2006 at 11:11 AM | 0 Comments

Each of the 40 Bedouin-style suites at the Al Maha Desert Resort comes complete with plunge pool and 180 degree views of the dunes.  The kind of place Luke Skywalker and his moisture-farming family would have developed on Tatooine if the Rebels paid him well for all his hard work.

Oh, and according to a tipster, it is a dry heat:

We went during at the hottest time of year, however the humidity is far less than it is in the city and beach and with your own infinity pool to cool off in during the heat of the day and a buggy that will pick you up from your suite and take you anywhere you want to go the 44 degrees heat seemed strangely bearable!

This tipster must be from Phoenix.  Those Arizona folks are always talking about this mysterious dry heat.

Check out Al Maha on Google Maps below, walking home drunk from Dubai center doesn't look like an option.
