Found in the depths of the Arabian desert, yet still only 40 minutes’ drive from Dubai International Airport, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa springs from the sand like a magical oasis. Its low-rise, locally inspired architecture was built from an old Arabian fort and blends effortlessly into its surroundings, creating a hideaway that is the very definition of a luxury retreat.
The maze-like exterior is dotted with stone courtyards, hidden walkways and wood-trimmed terraces, adorned with fire pits, local pottery and soft cushioning; an outdoor living room with only the stars as your ceiling. Staying true to Arabic heritage, from these gardens Bab Al Shams showcases some of the finest in local evening entertainment.
Inside the rooms and furnishings are fittingly opulent. And for those seeking supreme relaxation, morning yoga is wonderful at the foot of the mighty desert, and the Satori Spa and Health Club is an utter dream in perfect surroundings.
As evening falls over the dunes, the resort comes alive as lanterns light and the chefs move to their outside kitchens to cook fragrant combinations of amazing local dishes.
Lastly, being in the desert, the activities on offer are unique. Guests can partake in off-road safari, camel or horse riding, and even archery or falconry.
