For anyone looking for a stylized version of a desert oasis, the Bab al Shams will tick every box. Food, service and facilities are top-tier, and it provides a bona fide escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dubai. It is also perfectly situated across from the Al Qudra cycle track, which must be one of the world's best dedicated cycling facilities.

Great getaway resort in the desert. Awesome vibes overall and very friendly staffs. It was my first time in dubai and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the 4x4 jeep car safari tour. Special thanks to my guide ISMAIL who was professional and helped me had so much fun in the desert.
