Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa

Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is located in the midst of the desert, near Dubai International Endurance City, yet is just a 40 minute drive from sister properties Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Madinat Jumeirah and only 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is an exclusive low-rise resort, a unique retreat in the desert surrounded by rolling dunes and natural desert landscape. The resort provides a unique and traditional desert experience that is true to the culture and heritage of Dubai and the UAE.

Bab Al Shams, translated from Arabic literally as “Gateway to the Sun”, was designed to resemble a fortified rural Arab village in the desert built in and around an oasis. Inside the walls, shaded courtyards, walkways and water features provide cool shelter and maintain the unique ambience and atmosphere.

The resort’s signature restaurant, Al Hadheerah is the region’s first authentic open-air desert restaurant, featuring belly dancers, henna artists, live band, singers, dancers and a horse and camel show, all set in the wide expanse of desert.

The décor recreates the magic of an Arabian fort with natural stone, rock walls and a sunken seating area, located 300m from the resort and nestled amongst the sand dunes. The ambience is further enhanced by the adjacent heritage village with souk and by the presence of Bedouin Arab horsemen and a camel caravan on the dunes overlooking the restaurant. Camel and horse rides are available at the heritage village, as well as Arabian handicrafts.

The restaurant features ethnic cuisine from the Middle East, served with bread from our Arabic bread ovens; at live cooking stations food is prepared and cooked in a variety of traditional methods that include wood-fired ovens, charcoal grills and spit roasts.
