Rixos Bab Al Bahr

At the five-star, beachfront and all-inclusive Rixos Bab Al Bahr on Al Marjan Island, children from 4-12 years can get a passport to the Rixy Club to make new friends and scoop up prizes while joining in the fun including the Rixy disco, music, games, cinema, treasure hunting, beach and pool games and talent shows. Over in the resort’s Teens Republic, adults-in-themaking are welcome to make their own entertainment with weekly tournaments around X-Box 360, PlayStation, a pool table, electronic darts, table soccer, chess, checkers, Jenga and UNO. There is also internet access available and laptops supplied.

Occupying three grand, pyramidal towers overlooking the Arabian Gulf, this upmarket, all-inclusive beachfront resort is part of a series of man-made islands and is only six km from Al Hamra Mall and 11 km from Ice Land Water Park.
