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.
