Abu Dhabi is well known for its opulent hotels and grand buildings, but the most famous structure is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – a beautiful and grand addition to the skyline. And this is the view you’ll have during your stay at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr. Whether you’re reclining on a sun lounger on the beach, dining in the restaurant, or simply relaxing in your room, the extravagant view of this ornate mosque will follow you around, never failing to impress.  

Foodies will love staying Fairmont Bab Al Bahr. This hotel has, not just one, but two Marco Pierre White restaurants, both offering à la carte dining and impeccable service. The main restaurant, CuiScene, boasts live cooking stations and, as the name suggests, it’s in a fantastic spot. Pull up a chair on the terrace, tuck into a delicious meal, and admire the views of the pool and the grand mosque beyond.

Little ones will be easily entertained here. From the shaded kids’ pool and play area, to the action-packed kids’ club, there’s plenty going on to keep them busy. Meanwhile, older children can burn off some energy in the Olympic-sized lap pool, or challenge themselves on the climbing wall. And the whole family can take advantage of the daily free shuttle service to Abu Dhabi’s major attractions, including Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Marina Mall, Yas Waterworld, and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. The famous Yas Marina Circuit – venue for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – is also nearby, and is a must-do on any trip to this city.
