I usually pass though Dubai while on my way to different destinations. This time I decided to stay in Dubai for a few days. I didn’t want to see the modern city, so I opted for Bab Al Shams Desert Resort for a more traditional experience. I was not disappointed and my stay from beginning to the end was magical, surpassing all expectations. The architecture of the Bab Al Shams is very traditional with careful attention paid to detail; transporting me to a mystical world. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and in keeping with the traditional theme; albeit with all the modern conveniences. The restaurants offer a varied selection of delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The pool is sublime, beautifully set looking out onto the desert. A number of experiences were on offer, most of which I indulged in. These included camel and horse riding, the spa and the traditional outdoor restaurant Al Hadheerah; a feast of Middle Eastern cuisine with diners watching the magnificent show under the moonlit sky. The highlight of my stay however was the warm hospitality and kind attention of all members of staff at Bab Al Shams . I shall definitely return.

Everything in this place is magical. Service is out of this world. Staff is so helpful. Food is amazing. It is a luxurious oasis out of a storybook. There is a real “Arabian vibe” and you feel like you have been transported to another world. Free camel ride and falcon holding at sunset just complete the experience. It is all about the details: refreshing dates welcome drink, mini cooler by the pool to water cold, the beach bag available in the room, the buggy ride to go to the restaurant…. With the full board package, you can dine at Al Adeerah, the middle-eastern restaurant part of the complex. It offers entertainment and amazing local food. Even with the crazy heat, we could have stayed a couple more days. Perfect place for our 10th anniversary! Thank you so much Bal Al Shams!

Spacious room! Bed is comfortable however the pillow is too soft of my liking. They have the pillow menu and you can choose the hardness from the menu instead. Swimming pool is heated water. Package include dinner and breakfast buffet. For the buffet, food is normal. The hotel provide free activités during sunset such as falcon photo taking/show and also camel ride.they have a desert just outside the hotel where you can explore around during sunset time and at night to catch some stars :) Overall good relaxing stay in the resort ! It is about an hour ride from Dubai city and hence you will need to arrange a private transport to reach.

Staff were all excellent, welcoming and always helpful. You have managed to keep the charm of the resort whilst upgrading it - gorgeous new colors and placements. Well done. From the moment you walk in to the end it is stunning and refreshing. We were upgraded and asked for a quiet room and it was perfect. Check in and check out were seamless, bravo. New restaurant area - stunning!

Hotel décor was breathtakingly beautiful and luxurious. The whole hotel had a luxurious oud smell which was kind of addictive. The rooms were big and spacious; really loved the bathroom. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was also to die for. We also really enjoyed the Arabian night. We will definitely come back.
