Treat dad to this

Force dad to take the day off – it’s Father’s Day after all – and head down to one of the beaches that have recently opened for some quality time together. Make a splash at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and purchase five beach passes for AED 500 and you’ll be credited AED 350 to spend on drinks and eats. Now that’s a deal not to be missed.

Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Khor Al Maqta. Contact: 02 654 3333 or visit www.fairmont.com/abu-dhabi
