Nothing says summer like a picnic in the sun. Digging up some old mats, packing your favourite snacks, finding that perfect spot in the sun (in cooler days of UAE of course) and making the most of those long, hot days with your friends and family… It’s an easy way to create your own little slice of paradise!
Ahead of the game, Bab Al Shams is doing it Fancier with the relaunch of their whimsical picnic brunch every Saturday.
Relax with a classic afternoon picnic at the resort’s signature restaurant, while enjoying a menu of succulent dishes with a side of great entertainment. Indulge in a delicious selection of appetisers, BBQ treats, burgers, gourmet pasta and pizza, courtesy of the venue’s live cooking stations, and make your Saturday even sweeter with freshly made churros, pastries and a decadent crêpe bar brimming with every flavour imaginable.
The festivities continue with a slew of live entertainment for adults and children. While the grown-ups enjoy the smooth DJ beats and thrilling performances from a live band, kids will be entertained by camel and pony rides, a bouncy castle, a petting zoo and other child-friendly activities. Adults also have the option to upgrade their brunch packages to include pool access and unlimited house beverages.
