Bab al shams is spectacular desert resort about 45 mins drive from downtown dubai. you must use the rooftop bar for sundowners and the arabic restaurant is very authentic with both locals and tourists enjoying the fayre. superb hotel.
The standard of hotels in Dubai is quitely simply impressive and each and everyone of them also have excellent restaurants. The One & Only Royal Mirage is fabulous as is the Ritz Carlton. I have staed in a wide variety of luxury hotels in Dubai and have never been disappointed. The list above is just a starter for 10 with new luxury hotels opening all the time.
