Bab Al Shams is one of Dubai’s most iconic desert resorts.
The luxury, culture, and immersive experiences just 40 min outside of the city.
We've all seen its desert setting, unique property and heard about world class hospitality.
They have been very successful - but needed structured, consistent visibility across social media.
The challenge wasn’t what they offered, but how to get the right audience to experiment.
That’s where we stepped in.
We partnered with Bab Al Shams to create an influencer system.
A system that shows the resort’s beauty, atmosphere in a way that truly connected with Dubai’s lifestyle audience.
