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
Service
The team were amazing. Nishad, Riaz, Emran were amazing. The transportation and concierge were brilliant. Thank you to all at the hotel.

Incredible experience in the dessert.
Hotel, food, spa incredible. Adrita and Punam help us a lot and made our experience better. The treatments at the spa sound healing were incredible as well.

Fantastic!
What a fantastic stay @ Bab Al Sham. We regret staying only staying for one night. This gorgeous resort deserves a minimum of 3 nights, if not more. The beautiful and pristine desert landscape will leave you speechless. Multiple pools for adults and children. Delicious breakfast buffet included with our suite booking. Traditional Emirati dinner and artist performances are a not to be missed event @ Al Hadheera restaurant. Excellent resort staff ready and eager to help. Would like to recognize Nishad and Ravi for their exceptional professionalism. Thank you both for making us feel welcome, and at home during our stay. We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers!

Treated like royals.
Tahir. Nishad and all the team looked after us like we were royalty. Superbly clean resort. A variety of restaurants made selection easy. All in all very good.

The unforgettable experience
My stay at Bab Al Shams was pure desert bliss, and Li at the front desk made it even more incredible! I accidentally left my sunglasses in the lobby, Li’s care and attention to detail are unmatched—this resort is lucky to have them!
