A truly outstanding luxury oasis in the desert. From the moment we arrived (and were greeted with delicious dates and coffee) to departure time, the resort’s outstanding staff made sure that our every need was met and beyond. The property is stunning. We travelled with our two young children, who were treated like rock stars by each and every member of the staff. We dined at Ninive and it was amazing, as were the poolside food and bev. The entire family delighted in the camel ride and falcon show and our own regret was not visiting this property sooner. We will be back.

The best resort in dubai

Arriving late at night, the resort nestled in the heart of the desert felt even more magical under the starry sky. From the moment I stepped into reception, I was warmly welcomed. My room was clean, cozy, and perfectly equipped with everything I needed. Waking up to the breathtaking desert view was a moment I will never forget. The expansive pool and comfortable sunbeds provided the perfect escape from the midday heat. During my stay, I had breakfast every day at Zala restaurant, where every staff member was friendly and attentive. I especially want to thank Amro, who took such great care of me throughout all three mornings—his kindness made every breakfast feel special. At the poolside bar, Jimmy became a truly wonderful friend during my trip. He made my time by the pool extra memorable and was incredibly helpful, supporting me through both small concerns and bigger needs. I sincerely thank him. On my final night, I enjoyed a special dinner at Al Hadheerah, where Chef Tanveer’s roast chicken paired perfectly with the live performance—an unforgettable experience. This stay was not just a getaway—it was healing for both my body and soul. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to every staff member at Bab Al Shams. I will definitely return again.

古代を思われるような落ち着いたホテル。日常の喧騒を忘れることができ、とてもリラックスできる。 気になる点は食事。夏場はAl Hadheerahという看板のレストランが猛暑であり閉鎖。 他のレストランでは、特に特徴のないメニュでしか営業しておらず朝食含めあまり楽しくない。 また、ドアマンやプール、レストラン担当（一部は横柄）は良いが、レセプションは事務的でホスピタリティを感じない。

While I did enjoy my stay I was very disappointed that the al hadera diner buffet and show was closed. Unfortunately due to school for our kids we are only able to travel in summer and we were surprised to find out on arrival that it was closed. Additionally the new pool policies are not family friendly the pool to the left was changed to adults only and closes later than the pool on the right which closed at 7 I would suggest as a guest who has been there 4 years in a row is to perhaps have the pool remain open later for all guest especially in the desert where day swimming may be limited in summer and there are also limited activities. Keeping the pool open til 10pm. This is my humble opinion as your guest and someone who has reffered hundreds of people to your hotel.

コスパの良い砂漠のホテル

値段とファシリティ、サービスのバランスが良く取れたとても良いホテルでした。ただ、イード中だったからかも知れませんが、14:30に着いてチェックインして部屋に案内されたのが15:40頃でかなり待ちました。同時に着いた小さな子供連れの方々も同じ位待たされていました。個別の部屋までの案内などは不要なので、時間通りにチェックインできるように工夫して欲しいです。

A lovely, peaceful hotel if you’re looking to get away from the city. The Adult Pool was a key feature and Jimmy at the pool bar was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The Garden Terrace room was not as luxurious as I had expected sadly although the time of year did affect this also (early sunsets, mosquitos). Overall a nice, boutique hotel.

Amazing hotel, such a beautiful oasis in the desert. The facilities were great from the room, pool to the spa. The staff really made our stay extra special! Our favourite hotel stay ☺️
