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
Relaxing Getaway with Exceptional Service
From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was welcoming and relaxing. We were assisted by Debra, who was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions and taking the time to show us around the hotel. Our room was spacious, spotless, and conveniently located close to the amenities. The hotel itself was peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to unwind by the pool. Throughout our stay, the staff were attentive and always available whenever we needed assistance. A special thank you to Warren, Shine, Debra, and Phyoe for their exceptional service and for making our stay so enjoyable. Their friendliness and professionalism truly made a difference. The location is perfect . We had a wonderful experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

The best experience we’ve had so far in Dubai, the service is unbelievable they really go extra miles to make you feel completely relaxed!
