Lonely Planet review
Resembling an Arabian fort and effortlessly blending into the desertscape, Bab al-Shams is a tonic for tourists seeking to indulge their One Thousand and One Nights fantasies. Its labyrinthine layout displays both Arabic and Moorish influences; rooms are gorgeous, spacious and evocatively earthy, with pillars, lanterns, paintings of desert landscapes and prettily patterned Bedouin-style pillows. While this is the perfect place to curl up with a book or meditate in the dunes, the stimuli-deprived will find plenty to do. A wonderful infinity pool beckons, as do the luscious Satori Spa and an archery range. Children under 12 years of age can let off steam in Sinbad’s Club. Off-site activities include desert tours and horse and camel rides. Bab al-Shams is about 40 minutes south of Dubai.
