Does anyone know the cost of day access to the Bab Al Shams pool at weekends?

Was thinking about going on Friday with visitors and using an entertainer vouchers.

......and no, their Reception doesn't know apparently. And the leisure team aren't in until tomorrow. What excellent service Maydan group. grrrrrrr

When I asked, they told me you cannot use the Entertainer voucher on their offer for lunch+pool access. It's valid only for pool access, but still worth it.

http://www.meydanhotels.com/babalshams/activities.htm They don't give a price on the website, but if you call them asking for "Day Use Package" info, they may understand more. Or best to drop them an email.

500 on Fridays and 350 the rest of the week. It includes the buffet lunch. This was the cost in March when we last went. I thought it was less than that, but then we went on a week-day during the summer, so there may have been special offers at the time. It was worth what we paid, with lunch included.

I think its 650dhs per person, it was a LOT more than I had thought! But possibily includes lunch, which IS very nice. Obviously best check but I think that's how much it was.
