Search hotels in Maḩḑah

The drive from Hatta to Mahdah is just breathtaking. I would recommend everyone to try this drive and stay among the mountains for a couple of nights. Get away from all the chaos and busy city life and take a breath of fresh air.

Mahdah is a nice place for running away from the city and it's rush. There are probably only 2 resorts to stay in (Wadi Sharam resort and Irtihal Hotel which is little far) there are 2 main gardens top visit Medal garden which is 2 garden separated by a mountain and a nicely made stairs where you can walk across and enjoy the views from the top of the mountain. the second garden is named al-Kahf garden which mean the cave garden when translated. Nice small garden, which has a nice hike of 8 kilos approx surrounding the garden. Mahdah is better rrecommended to visit during winter (Nov to Feb). I visited Mahdah in June and temperature was 47-48 degrees Celsius. It is very close to Buraimi and they can be planned for visit together. There are important Wadi's to visit and enjoy, these are Wadi Sharam, Wadi Al-Qahfi and wadi Khamis. Unfortunately they were dry when I visited probably because of summer season but I have seen the photos online post rains where they look very wow for swimming and enjoying with family and friends. Mahdah is also close to UAE border and it can be visited as a stop on the way for relaxation for a day or two. It lacks restaurants but because Buraimi is next door, so it is very convenient to have the meals there in the down town with little bit of shopping. Kahil is another destination where you can enjoy the sand dunes over there with some fun activities over the sands but only during the winter times.

The location is quite nice and super peaceful. The restaurant wasn't serving food during our visit due to renovations and not many great restaurants around the resort. Overall a thumbs up and we really enjoyed the peace at this resort.
