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.

This resort is absolutely lovely. I participated in the Arabian desert guided walk with Jamal and he is very experienced and knowledgeable. We spotted some gazelles and ducks. I also did camelback riding with Farhan and he is very good with camels and a fantastic photographer too. I highly recommend this resort!

Beautiful resort far from the noise of the city. Rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Special thanks to Arman and Adrita for the smooth check-in and check out process and the staff at the pool bar.

Amazing stay at Bab Al Shams. Everything is spot on- the facilities, staff and entertainment. It is pricey but worth it. All the staff are so professional, friendly and helpful. There is one gentleman at the lobby his name is Hakim, he is amazing very warm and cheerful. We also went on a breathtaking desert safari with Ismail. He is so professional, friendly with the kids, and very kind. He made our trip extra special. We also enjoyed the Christmas tree lighting and in particular Santa coming from the desert on his camel:)) that you will find only in Dubai and only at Bab Al Shams. Overall a pleasant experience and amazing staff across the facility from reception to the pool bar! We will definitely be back soon!
