Welcome to a spectacular desert paradise. Nestled among the dunes, the low-lying Bab Al Shams resort is the world’s favourite choice for dream desert getaways. This oasis of tranquility combines rustic charm with top-tier hospitality and luxury to bring to life an authentic desert experience.

Though isolated from the busy world around it, Bab Al Shams remains easily accessible, and is a mere 45-minute drive from both Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports.

Within, a world of sumptuous cuisine, nature walks, camel rides and desert adventures awaits you. From temperature-controlled pools to archery ranges and falconry exhibitions, Bab Al Shams offers all the elements required to create memorable stays. Outside, the resort’s desert ecosystem hosts gazelles, birds, geckos and a cornucopia of wildlife.

Al Hadheerah Restaurant is a centrepiece of the Bab Al Shams experience. Delicious Arabic fare rules the root here, with a generous buffet accompanied by a la carte options. Every visit is an adventure, with riders on horses and camels putting on spectaculars, and tanoura dancers twirling their own beats. Falconry demonstrations and enthusiastic belly dancers complete the scene.

Bab Al Shams’ attractions, sweeping vistas and world-class hospitality make it the perfect venue for relaxing stays, celebrating special occasions and creating memorable corporate events.
