Mazaj Bab Al Bahr Welcomes the New Year with Live Performance and Waterfront Celebration

There is something particularly graceful about welcoming a new year beside the water, particularly when the evening unfolds with the kind of considered entertainment that transforms a dinner into an occasion. Mazaj Bab Al Bahr, the Lebanese restaurant situated at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, has curated an evening designed for precisely this sense of occasion.

The New Year’s Eve celebration promises live music from performers Ghady and Dalia, whose presence will shape the rhythm of the evening. Alongside this, guests will experience the energy of traditional Dabka performances, those distinctive line dances that draw their spirit from Levantine culture. An accomplished belly dancer completes the entertainment offering, bringing further movement and visual grace to the proceedings.

The setting itself becomes part of the narrative. Positioned at the water’s edge, the restaurant offers uninterrupted views across Abu Dhabi’s waterfront. As midnight approaches, these vantage points will frame the fireworks that light the sky, creating the kind of moment that lingers in memory long after the evening concludes.

The menu reflects Mazaj Bab Al Bahr’s Lebanese heritage, with dishes prepared to showcase the region’s approach to flavour and tradition. Soft beverages are included throughout the evening, accompanying the meal as guests move through the night.

For those considering the experience, the cost begins at AED 650 per person. Reservations can be secured by telephoning +971 50 901 8589, allowing the restaurant to prepare for what promises to be a particularly animated evening. The combination of live performance, cultural tradition and waterfront location positions this celebration as a refined way to cross the threshold into the new year, surrounded by the warmth of Lebanese hospitality and the energy of those gathered to mark the occasion together.
