Overview


‘The Oasis’
The name Al Waha means ‘The Oasis’ and the hotel has reflected this in the arrangement and design of its several swimming pools and many date palms. Its 124 acres is nestled at the foot of a mountain range where vehicular access is gained through a man-made tunnel; being part of a three-hotel complex there is a tremendous choice of both facilities and dining options. Rooms are beautifully appointed and along with the rest of the hotel have an opulent Arabian feel.


‘This complex will appeal to couples and families as well as adult groups. Its great if you want to explore the country but equally enjoyable to stay within the complex and make use of the great facilities’.
