Bab Al Shams – day trip

Bab Al Shams is a magical resort that takes you away from modern Dubai and makes it possible for you be a part of history.

Rightly located about 45 minutes drive from the city of Dubai, close to the Endurance city, the resort is accessible by a dedicated road.

The resort overall has a feeling of the bygone era. The rooms although beautifully architected to be an integral part of earlier times, has its modern elements to it. You could spend a whole day just being in this room…

After a whole day of fun & excitement in the resort, you must try Al Hadheerah Desert Restaurant in the evening. The food is mainly Arabic, with live cooking stations. However, they place livens up with small handicraft kiosks, henna, camel & horse rides & falcon displays. The Arabic entertainment with folklore dancing & shows & belly dancing is surely not to be missed.

Here are a few pictures of the resort in general…
