Pool area was very relaxing but I was seriously disappointed with the rooms. Looked outdated with cracks everywhere. Place needs an update in certain areas. More

One evening we drove out of Dubai into the sunset for what we were told was a fine dining experience. This was an understatement. Bab Al Shams is an oasis in the middle of the desert.
