Bab Al Shams Desert Resort
Al Qudra
Bab Al Shams is a desert resort on the outskirts of Dubai, close to the Al Marmoom landscape and Al Qudra cycling routes. Its rooms and suites combine contemporary design with Arabian influences, looking towards dunes or courtyard gardens. Desert Pool Villas add private pools for guests seeking a more secluded stay. Adult and family pools, a spa and hammam provide places to relax, while experiences include horse riding, camel treks, falconry, nature tours and hot-air balloon trips. Al Hadheerah brings Middle Eastern cooking and live entertainment into an open-air souk setting under the stars. The range of desert activities and outdoor spaces makes the resort a base for exploring this quieter landscape beyond central Dubai.
