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.

Simply amazing

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

This is my family’s 2nd time to UAE - 7th hotel over 6 weeks. By far the best experience we have had yet. Staff, room, location, cleanliness, food, everything was amazing. We stayed here for 3 nights - we felt that was enough time to complete most activities and still enough time to relax. Staying in a pool villa is an amazing experience. Thank you to the whole team for such and amazing experience. Keep up the good work!

Exceptional

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Last minute booking we definitely didn’t regret. It’s heaven on earth! Although, I disastrously messed up timings for our return flight and had to cut our stay short one day. An absolute hero called Yasmine was so helpful and took care of us - they are very lucky to have her! All the other staff were amazing too, it really makes such a positive difference (including Aya of course!) Will be back next year. James & Ali x

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This was my first time in Dubai, and first time ever being in the desert. Sabri hooked me up on my first hookah and showed me how to do it. It was amazing and the show and food were spectacular. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a great time - so much fun!
