Babs Al Shams comprises 115 rooms, all of which are equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, an in-room safe and a minibar. The Balcony, Garden rooms and Suites have access to their own private balcony or terrace so on an evening watch the sun set over the golden crested sand dunes. Concerning cuisine, there is a plethora of choice ranging from traditional Arabic dishes cooked at live cooking stations to more international gastronomy. Whilst you enjoy your meal, be astounded by the entertainment, which includes live Arabic music, falconry and Arabian horse displays. After a day soaking in the delights of the desert, the rooftop bar is the place to be where you can enjoy a cocktail or two with breath-taking views.

At Babs Al Shams, relaxation is part of their DNA, in the spa there are more than 30 treatments and by the swimming pool there is an additional rainforest and waterfall area to truly unwind from daily stresses.
