About
BAB AL SHAMS Situated in the heart of the desert and nestled in the dunes of Dubai, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is the ultimate luxury retreat.
An exclusive low-rise resort in the desert surrounded by gently sloping dunes and natural desert landscape, Bab Al Shams offers guests a one of its kind traditional desert experience that is true to the culture and heritage of Dubai and the UAE.
With its literal translation from Arabic meaning "gateway to the sun", Bab Al Shams is built in an Arabic fort setting in and around an oasis. Inside the walls, shaded courtyards, walkways and water features provide cool shelter and maintain the unique ambience and atmosphere.
Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is located in the heart of the desert, adjacent to Dubai International Endurance City, yet is just a 40-minute drive from the city of Dubai and only 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 79lekshmip0 contributionsScammers.WORST experience everI am extremely disappointed with the tour experience. The driver was unprofessional and did not prioritize customer comfort, failing to stop at any of the promised photo stops, which were a major highlight of the tour. The vehicle was also poorly designed for this type of travel. We were four people, and two of us had to sit in the last row, but the middle seat had an issue with folding, making it extremely difficult to get in and out. This added significant inconvenience throughout the trip. To make matters worse, there was an additional person in the vehicle who wasn’t even a tourist, which felt unfair considering we had paid for the service. The driver also asked if we wanted to visit the dates market, mentioning that it was overpriced and not worth it. When I agreed to skip it, he then asked if we wanted to visit Yas Island instead, which felt like a poorly planned alternative. For AED 600, the experience was appalling. I could have traveled to these locations far more comfortably for much less. This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had. It’s clear that the company cares more about profit than providing a satisfactory service. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.Written 21 November 2024

Kashif is very patient, knowledgeable, good with kids, and took great care of us at multiple stops. He’s not only a great driver for dune bashing … but also an excellent photographer.
