Emerging from the heart of the desert, Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort is an elegant desert resort in a traditional Arabic fort setting.
Located 45 minutes from Dubai, the resort features rooms and suites appointed in traditional Gulf decor, complemented by the Al Hadheerah Desert Restaurant, the region’s first authentic open-air Arabic desert restaurant offering visitors fabled Arabian experiences like belly dancers, henna painters, live bands and a falcon display.
A superb range of recreational activities including archery, horse riding, and desert cruising add to the enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. With a view of the rolling desert dunes, the main pool area – a staggering 15,000 sq. ft. featuring a rainforest area, waterfall, a beach concept with real beach sand on the deck and 250 sun loungers, Jacuzzi seats, and a special shaded children’s pool – is the focal point of the resort.
After a day’s adventure in the desert or by the pool, the Al Sarab rooftop bar is a great place to take in the colorful desert vistas at sunset and delight in a cocktail.
