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
Great Desert Experience 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bab Al Shams experience was great! Subash was out waiter in during our dinner in Al Hadheera restaurant and he was very kind and warm with all of us as well as knowledgeable. Would highly recommend! I was there already 4 times and will definitely go back.

Amazing Desert Experience with Ismail!
Our family of three (including a toddler) had an unforgettable time at Bab Al Shams Desert Drive, thanks to Ismail! He was an incredible driver—patient, attentive, and made sure we all felt safe while enjoying the dunes. My little daughter adored him! Highly recommend for families seeking adventure with top-notch hospitality.

Desert Tranquility at its Best
For those looking for a quick and peaceful escape from Dubai (approximately an hour), this is the place to be. The property and rooms are beautifully designed, clean, and very charming. Additionally, the complimentary camel ride and falcon experience are fun. But above all is the hospitality. From check-in to check-out, the entire staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. When we asked for a later check-out, the gentleman assisting us accommodated our request without any hesitation. Additionally, my friend noted her mussel allergy at check-in and when we went to Al Hadheerah Restaurant for dinner (which was an experience on its own), the entire staff had been made aware of it and they made sure she was well taken care of! Overall, we loved our stay at the Bab Al Shams and we appreciated everyone who made it memorable. A special shout-out to George who was a great conversationalist and always asked for feedback to ensure that our experience at the resort was nothing less than perfect. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
