Location

The Rixos Bab Al Bahr is in a fantastic location in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, directly on the extensive, fine sandy beach of the impressive Al Marjan Island archipelago. The artificially created island extends into the Persian Gulf in the form of several coral reefs and offers an exclusive, tranquil environment with a magnificent view of the turquoise sea.
Dubai International Airport is approximately 73 km away.
***************************************
Marjan Island is a continuously developing destination that is constantly being improved to offer guests first-class experiences. Therefore, development and construction projects may occur in various areas of the island during your stay. These measures are part of Ras Al Khaimah's long-term vision to establish Marjan Island as an outstanding travel destination. Although construction activities may occasionally occur in the surrounding area, all necessary precautions are taken to minimize any potential impact on guests.
