Bab Al Shams, A Rare Finds Desert Resort, Dubai

I recently stayed at the Bab Al Sham hotel and wanted to share this exceptional experience. The establishment offers a magnificent setting that perfectly blends traditional Arabic architecture with contemporary luxury. What particularly impressed me was the quality of service. The staff is extremely attentive and kind, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment of arrival. I must highlight the excellence of Chef Ahmed Ibrahim and his team, whose delicious and finely prepared cuisine demonstrates genuine culinary expertise in the hotel's restaurants.My wife has food allergy and the chef took time to review all dishes with us and even made some plates for my wife.When I thanked him, he simply said "that's my job and I'm delighted to do it".I would like to thank him again for his professionalism and his kindness, because he is an exceptional man. Server Amro also deserves special mention for his professionalism and kindness. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, the facilities are impeccable, and the general ambiance is filled with serenity. Bab Al Sham offers a complete hotel experience where comfort and luxury are matched only by the quality of service. An establishment I highly recommend for an unforgettable stay.

We loved everything about the resort. The architecture, the unique detail, design and features of the rooms, the restaurant dining options, the adults only pool, the resort layout. It was perfect. The absolute highlight for us was each and every staff member. From groundsmen to the pool and restaurant staff and housekeeping. Everyone greeted you with a smile, a hello, and were profoundly friendly and professional. It was a stand out for us. As was our 2 special evening meals at Nineve. The food was outstanding, as were the staff and wine choices. So good we returned 2 nights in a row! Apologies we cannot remember everyones names, however Remy the concierge, Subrata and Hadith by the pool, and the divine waiters at Nineve all stand out as going the extra mile to ensure our stay was awesome. Thank you for a wonderful long weekend with you all.

Hajer’s warm and welcoming nature made us feel great from the moment we arrived. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort were truly commendable. “Hajer is a true asset to the resort” , and her professionalism shines through in everything she does. We can’t thank her enough for making our visit so special. Her dedication truly made all the difference, and we look forward to returning because of her exceptional service. Yasmine’s hospitality was exceptional and truly stood out during our stay. She made us feel incredibly welcome with her warm and attentive service. Her kindness and effort to ensure every detail was perfect made a significant impact on our experience. We truly appreciated her dedication” Thank you Hajer for being a great leader and making sure everything is going right And Thank you Yasmine for taking care of us and making us feel at home again 🤍

The architecture is amazing which makes the place super unique. The hotel is maintained clean at all times. The staff was amazing, helping with our every request and going above and beyond. They met my special request for a special honeymoon message in the bedroom. Multiple pools available and activities around the hotels. Thank you Bab Al Shams for everything! We will sure come back again to visit!

Room was comfortable and clean, food was fantastic, some fun things included like how often do you get to hold a falcon (with the correct gear and the handler present of course). The biggest factor was the staff - across all areas and departments. The warmth and helpfulness among other things made the stay even more enjoyable. I am sure there is something I missed out on. Be careful of one thing though - you may end up eating too much. Location was nice and quiet which is great for unwinding and relaxing; you could also see clear skies and stars.
