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.

From the sparkle in the lobby to the warmth of every smile, this hotel made me feel like royalty every single day. The team’s kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail—from housekeeping to management—were simply unforgettable. Thank you for a stay filled with heart

Bab Al Shams is one of the most beautifully unique experiences to have in the desert, the design, architecture and interior is so calming with the modern twist on the historic Middle Eastern beauty! Cristina was a fantastic host, so friendly and made us feel so welcome!
