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.

Stunning desert stay and Safari

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

All the staff were so helpful and made sure to go out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The hotel itself is stunning with so much beautiful attention to detail. Our private safari with Ismail was the best I have ever done in Dubai as he took extra time to teach us about the wildlife and nature of the desert. If you want some incredible dune bashing mixed with knowledge of the area, he is the best choice around. The restaurants and food were also fantastic. We will be returning.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Bab- Al- Shams is off the charts, hospitality that the world can learn from!! I was there with friends for my sister's milestone birthday & we couldn't ask fof more. The drive was peaceful, & the minute we entered, the magic began - welcome drinks, ambience, rooms, breakfast. The staff were impeccable, & nothing was too much. The spa was beautiful - hope I return to experience the new one in the not too distant future........ Thank you Bab - Al - Shams fof your service!! 💖 I loved seeing my NAME in the welcome message on TV screen in my room!!
