Bab Al Shams has been a 2nd player to Al Maha, but we think it is unfair. Bab Al Shams Dubai is different and has a different feel - it is also more affordable price point targeting more mainstream and allowing you to experience a few night in the desert without breaking the bank. Underrated in our eyes.
