Guest reviews for Bab Al Shams

4 out of 5

nice place to relax, but don't spend money on the al hadeerah show

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
The al hadeerah restaurant and show was billed as a cultural event with music, songs, dancing. However, it was more of a tourist spectacle. Idid not pay so much money to hear some tourist try to sing or watch the dancers walk around the restaurant so tourist could take pictures. I wanted to see and hear some good dancing and music. This was a great disappointment.
