About the Hotel
Embark on a nomadic journey of rediscovery within intertwining corridors and courtyards in this address built from the inspiration of the traditional Arabic fort. Sensations will be heightened as the desert dunes’ sheer magnitude and constant shifting captivates imagination. Enjoy peaceful seclusion and efficiency altogether as we are located only 45 minutes from Dubai’s city center, and in close proximity to off-site attractions like the Al Qudra man-made lakes and scenic cycling and camping spots. Being within the Al Marmoom Reserve, it’s also not uncommon to catch the abundance of native fauna wandering in the sand. The beloved Bab Al Shams resort perseveres as the gateway to the Sun and as part of the Rare Finds collection, a series of hospitality addresses bringing forward the essence of a place and promising soulful experiences.

Reviews for Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa
Unique Escape to the desert
Unique & very different you wouldn’t know you were in Dubai ! Beautiful hotel very clean very tidy. First class service from the team Amor was very helpful at breakfast :) Very nice touches around the hotel coffee and dates available fruit brought to in to sun loungers in fruit and chocolates left in your room of an eve wonderful touches. Gym is well equipped and spa and beauty room are absolutely amazing. They do have a car that will drop you to gym although it only takes 5mins to walk to. It really is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the desert.

Great escape from dubai
Just one hour from Dubai , it is great place to escape for 2-3 nights . This outstanding resort is a 5 star traditional resort but modern amenities . Great restaurants within the resort . Complimentary falconry and camel ride . Dinner under the stars at Al Hadeerah restaurant with traditional dances , music and Belly dances . The variety of food is outstanding

Great service and top notch experience!
We loved the Bab Al shams resort! Service was top notch. Our favorite part of the stay, however, were the camel and desert safari experiences! Farhan guided our camel adventure and it was amazing. We did the sunset private camel tour and it was a beautiful, relaxing adventure. Farhan knew all the great photo spots and put so much effort into making the experience unforgettable. Jamal was our driver for our experiences and was so kind and took extra time out of his day to drive us to see the Arabian horse races and additional sites on property! We also did the desert safari with Ismail. The dune bashing was so much fun and he took extra time in making sure we had the most perfect photos in the dunes. I highly recommend these experiences and this resort!
