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.

Thank you Rishia
Had a great experience, Rishia was wonderful at the Anwa Japanese restaurant. Food was the best food we’ve had in Dubai.

Wonderful stay – horse riding is an absolute must!
What a wonderful stay at the Bab Al Shams Resort and Spa! Everything was amazing. We also did an hour of horse riding organized by the hotel, and we enjoyed it so much. So peaceful. We’ll definitely come back! 🙏🏻✨

Perfect experience
It’s a beautiful desert escape that blends authentic Arabian charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by golden dunes, the resort offers elegant rooms, peaceful courtyards, and stunning views. The dining experiences are excellent, with both Middle Eastern and international options in unique settings. Beyond the beauty of the place, the staff truly make the stay memorable—their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care create an atmosphere of comfort and hospitality. From check-in to departure, service is seamless and personal. A perfect destination for relaxation, culture, and unforgettable desert experiences.
