talent pool
Fairmont Bab Al Bahr is an enduring capital favorite for a reason. There’s an array of gleaming restaurants, plush guest rooms and a pool/beach complex that screams “wait, let me take a selfie.”It’s the second half of this winning trio that stole the headlines here — their Monday to Friday Pool passes cost AED 149, but you can get a nice change of AED 100 as food and beverage credit. The price on Saturday and Sunday is AED 199, with a food and beverage credit of AED 100. But if you’re planning a Saturday trip, you might as well take advantage of their… ultimate brunch. As you might guess from the name, it’s a mix of brunch and day getaway. The brunch element arrives on your plate in premium Fairmont pedigree, Over 18 live stations and 145 different dishes covering Asian, Indian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Italian and British cuisines. After brunch, get a day pass to relax in the hotel’s gorgeous pool area, or enjoy an after-dinner R&R feast on a lounger on the beach.
