I went there for the appearance, the same hotel as Jay Chou. If you go there specifically for taking photos, you can do it. It is very photogenic. It is a bit far from downtown Dubai. The breakfast is quite rich. I booked a room with a balcony. The decoration is very good.

My recent stay at **Bab Al Shams Resort** in Dubai was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was transported into a serene Arabian paradise, where luxury meets authentic desert charm.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. From the warm welcome to the attentive service at the pool and restaurants, every team member was courteous, professional, and genuinely kind. Special thanks to [mention any staff name if remembered] for their outstanding hospitality!
Bab Al Shams is more than just a hotel—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat away from the city’s hustle, with world-class service, stunning surroundings, and a taste of Arabian culture, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to return!

The hotel has a great sense of design. The facilities and environment are pretty good. There was a little problem at the beginning, but it was solved smoothly later. The room is on the first floor with a small yard. There were too many mosquitoes so we didn't sit outside. The hotel restaurant is very good and worth checking in. You need to book a table in advance.

The hotel is one hour away from Dubai Palm Island. The front desk clerk and housekeeper basically have no service to speak of. The waiters in the restaurant and pool area are very enthusiastic. The room is indeed not that big as other guests commented. The desert view room has a small window that you can open to see the trees and the desert. If you want to experience a desert hotel, you can stay in the most basic room type. One night is enough. The whole hotel is not big. Take photos + swim + dinner in the afternoon of the first day, wake up naturally + brunch on the second day, and then check out! Free camel riding in the evening is in the desert open space in front of the swimming pool. The two free experiences are also completed in 15 minutes!

I will definitely stay in this hotel again in the future, it is so good, the swimming pool is so beautiful, and the feeling of swimming in the desert is so different. There is also the experience of riding camels and driving in the desert. The food is delicious. There is a very special restaurant inside, which has a very Arabic style. The spa is also a must! Really highly recommended!

Very beautiful place, worth a visit. The service at the pool and restaurant was very good. Right after I checked in, a staff member entered the room without permission to clean, which was a bit strange! And there is no prior notice, so please pay attention. OrEveryone should remember to hang up the "do not disturb" sign immediately～

The hotel is like an Arabian castle that seems to have walked out of "One Thousand and One Nights". The hotel's name means "Gate of the Sun" in Arabic. The hotel's desert off-road is great and worth recommending.
