Modern Arabic Sophistication this Ramadan at FAIRMONT BAB AL BAHR

In celebration of the Holy month of Ramadan, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr is once again opening the doors of one of the capital’s largest and undoubtedly most luxurious Al Andalus tent. Authentic Iftar offerings and Sohour experiences are complemented by the traditional entertainment, all against the staggering backdrop of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. 
 
About Al Andalus
 
Al Andalus tent is a modern Arabic tent with influences from Andalucía that will transport guests to an architectural delight with themes and design from the Spanish and Islamic culture, including a glorious coloured arch shaped glass window at the entrance of the tent. Guests can immerse themselves in the sophisticated colour palette full of rich turquoise and emerald green, perfectly complemented by the warm beige surroundings that offset the use of glass throughout the tent.
 
The 19-metre long entrance area is comprised of luxury leather and linen furniture which is featured throughout Al Andalus tent. The tent also offers Private Lounge areas with flat screen TVs, a private area just for ladies and the exclusive Majlis Lounge.
 
An impressive 900 square meters, air conditioned Al Andalus tent is located on the Falcon Lawn on the edge of Maqtaa Creek, close to the conference and meetings area, allowing for an abundance of space for upwards to 450 guests, extensive scenic views of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and easier access.
