Though Bab Al Shams is a long drive from central Dubai, you go there for the sake of distancing yourself from the city. Located in the desert, with beautiful architecture, interiors, and landscaping! Everything is beautiful! The service is exquisite and very meticulous. Their restaurants, small souk and lounges are beautiful! Very instagrammable. Book yourself now, no hesitation. If the location is the reason why you're deviating from the decision, then you better think twice!

The Best Resort I Have Ever Stayed At! I am currently here for my honeymoon, and I can confidently say that Bab Al Shams is the best resort I have ever stayed at. I’ve traveled to many different places and experienced numerous luxury accommodations, but nothing compares to the exceptional service and hospitality here. From the moment we arrived, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. Every single team member is kind, respectful, and always ready to assist with a smile. They truly make you feel valued as a guest, ensuring that every need is met without hesitation. The attention to detail and the genuine warmth from everyone—from the front desk to the restaurant staff, housekeeping, and everyone in between—makes you feel right at home. It’s clear that the people who run this resort have created a special, welcoming environment that truly stands out. I want to thank the entire Bab Al Shams team for making our honeymoon unforgettable. We will definitely be returning, and I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a perfect getaway with world-class service. Truly an exceptional experience!

Experience an Arabic theme under the stars in this Oasis in the desert which is less than an hours drive from Downtown Dubai. Good selection of food and live music and displays with horses and camels. Overall a good experience. If you’re not staying in the resort Suggest you get there during daytime to see the place

This a desert oasis you do not want to miss. The room was amazing. We had an upgrade through Amex fine resorts and it was above expectations. The details of the design in the room were exceptional. The staff meets you with a warm greeting on every interaction. Helpful and professional they made the stay even better. The pools are relaxing and serene with plenty of shade to avoid the sun! On site restaurants have great food, drinks and views. Not the cheapest food and drink but good value nonetheless. Breakfast was included and beyond worth it. Complementary short camel ride and falcon experience make the resort a little more immersive. We definitely recommend this place to anyone and will certainly tell all of our friends and family to visit. We look forward to another visit in the future.

I have come to this place for a weekend getaway from a busy schedule and a bday celebration of a loved one. The overall ambience and the general behaviour of the staff was very pleasant ensuring i had a relaxing time throughout. The family rooms were intricately designed in a manner which greatly pleased me and I would recommend any people/person to come here for a truly fulfilling resort experience.
