Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa

Bab Al Shams, Arabic for ‘Gateway to the Sun’, is an oasis of style in the desert outside of Dubai, just 45 minutes from the city centre. This one-of-a-kind resort embraces distinctive modernist architecture, along with vibrant dining and eclectic entertainment. Guests can celebrate life, relax beside beautiful pools shaded by desert palms or surrender to mindful relaxation at the spa.

Bab Al Shams offers 115 luxurious rooms and suites designed with modern Arabian flair across 16 two-storey buildings. Each room or suite has either desert or garden views; some have outside space with private terraces or balconies.

From sunrise to sunset, days are filled with desert adventures including hot-air balloon rides, Arabian horse riding, camelback trekking, falconry, nature tours to Al Marmoom, and more. For a theatrical open-air dining experience that brings alive the soul of Arabia, feast under the stars and enjoy mesmerising musical entertainment at Al Hadheerah.
