Bab Al Shams

Bab Al Shams

Retreat to this desert oasis amid golden dunes and experience the tranquility and excitement of Arabia. Beautiful contemporary rooms are lavish sanctuaries, complete with Moorish design flourishes, luxurious bedding and zen-like marble bathrooms. Dining destinations at Bab Al Shams take you on an authentic sensory journey.

 

Arabian experience

The dramatic Al Hadheerah extravaganza combines the theatre of openair dining and live entertainment as you wander through the alleyways of a souk and encounter live-cooked Middle Eastern cuisine, dancers, musicians, falconers, and camel riders. Inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights, Ninive Bab Al Shams presents another captivating dining experience based around Middle Eastern and North African cuisine.

Relaxation and excitement

Discover the healing wonders of sidr oil, extracted from the leaves of the Middle Eastern Al-sidr tree during your treatment at Bab Al Shams Spa & Hammam or indulge in a transformative Bab al Shams Hammam Ceremony. Try camel trekking or horse riding in the dunes, hot air ballooning, or a fat bike desert safari. Embark on a guided desert walk to glimpse the Arabian oryx, gazelles, geckos and the native desert flora or a cosmic exploration with telescopic views of the magnificent desert sky.
