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.

Just Stunning! 🥰

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Me and my partner came here for a weekend stay whilst visiting Dubai. We was looking for a switch off- something away from the hustle and bustle but still gave us a luxury vacation feel. Babs Al Shams you delivered! ✨. From the moment we got here we knew we had made the right decision, the grounds are well kept and everything looks really well looked after. The staff were brilliant and offered us a refreshing juice as soon as we got here. Check in was smooth and quick. We had a quick tour of all the facilities that’s Babs Al sham has to offer the lady was brilliant and informative (apologies her name has slipped my mind) The food and service was just 10/10. Our rooms were cleaned throughly and quickly. Ps if you are going please visit the Spa. It was amazing. The massage was the best I’ve ever had and I have been to many spas all over the world. So a big shout out to Mi Mi the therapist for truly making my time the best it could be. Thank you and I’m sure we will be back again 🩵

Beautiful resort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

We had such a beautiful staycation at Bab Al Shams Resort & Spa. The rooms were stunning, the whole place is very aesthetic, and the service was truly amazing. The food was absolutely delicious with so much variety, and everything felt so well thought out. A special mention to Christina, who was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay, she really made the experience even more memorable. Overall, the perfect getaway for relaxation, great food, and impeccable hospitality.
