Walking along the grounds of Bab Al Shams, you will fancy the traditional set-up of the resort. You will feel transported to an Arabian landscape with courtyards, fountains, and stone alleys designed in a rustic style.
It reminds me of Al Bastakiya in Al Fahidi district in Old Dubai (I have yet to publish a photo walk series on that). The difference is that this area is more secluded because you are actually in the middle of the desert and away from the city!
This is the last blog among the series of posts that we will write about our experience in Bab Al Shams Resort (check rates) when we stayed there overnight. This is going to be just a bunch of pictures because we took plenty of them during our visit. I figured that since I took so many, I might as well publish them randomly in this post. Be warned that this article is photo-heavy.

Bab Al Shams Photowalk
I recommend that you go for a tour around the resort just to admire how this was built and why Bab Al Shams has many awards for best desert resort in the world.
It was nice to explore the pathways that led to various places of the hotel resort. There are some shots that are a miss and I wish we had more time in each spot, but we were there mostly to relax and I had too many pictures in my camera already to worry about wanting to have more pictures.
I need not worry about missing out on some snapshots, because we were there for a vacation and to relieve some stress. There will be a next time as we hope to visit the Al Hadheera restaurant dining experience one of these days.
By the way, here are the other posts we’ve written about the hotel resort.
