One&Only Royal Mirage, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort
Royal luxury & desert legend
Jumeirah Beach: the white sand, the turquoise blue sea and the breathtaking skyline create an unforgettable backdrop. The spa is a sanctuary of tranquillity: traditional oriental bathing rituals in the hammam revitalize body, mind and soul. Parents can enjoy the tailor-made wellness treatments without a care in the world. In the meantime, your children can discover camel riding, henna tattooing, camping and traditional games - or live out their spirit of discovery on a treasure hunt. Adults with a thirst for adventure
There are also plenty of opportunities for adults with an adventurous spirit, such as riding tours in the footsteps of the Bedouins, water sports like flyboarding or skydiving. The resort's nine restaurants offer culinary journeys of discovery. At "Celebrities", chef Mauro Colagreco treats his guests to an exquisite gourmet experience. The UNESCO ambassador for biodiversity, who has been awarded three Michelin stars, brings gourmets closer to nature in an incomparable way with his "Garden-to-Table" menu. The charming "Tagine" is also definitely worth a visit: Here, chef Naima Moussaoui brings the fascinating flavors of Morocco to Dubai.
As a hideaway not far from the metropolis of Dubai , the elegant Bab Al Shams is an oasis in the golden dunes. It is the first property in the new Rare Finds collection from Kerzner International. The Kerzner Rare Finds collection consists of selected resorts that stand for special hospitality, emphasize the essence of a place and promise emotional experiences - just like the Bab Al Shams resort. The oldest desert resort in the United Arab Emirates offers its guests unique experiences and allows them to immerse themselves in the rich history of the Middle East. Following in the footsteps of the former nomads, they can experience a variety of desert adventures: from horse riding and camel trekking, falconry and off-road excursions to nature tours to the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. Adventure seekers can try out fat bikes in the desert or rent bicycles to explore the 86-kilometer Al Qudra cycle path. Those seeking relaxation can enjoy holistic wellness treatments in the luxurious The Desert Spa with infinity pool. And gourmets rave about the culinary highlights in the resort's spectacular restaurants - such as Al Hadheerah, which enchants its visitors with live cuisine, dancers, musicians, falconers and camel riders under the starry desert sky.

Bab Al Shams, Arabic for "gateway to the sun", lives up to its name and reflects all the nuances of the earthy tones of the desert in its architecture and design. The family-friendly 5-star resort blends harmoniously into its surroundings and offers over 115 spacious rooms and suites with refined Moorish details. "The redesigned Bab Al Shams is a legacy that we present with pride and passion," says Gilles Soheir, General Manager of the resort, who is delighted that he and his team have the opportunity to "revive the essence and history of this iconic hotel to create an authentic Bedouin experience." The team has achieved this with flying colors; a resort in the desert could hardly be more magical.
