New waterfront tourist destinations opened in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region

Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, the Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region in Abu Dhabi, has inaugurated Mugheirah Bay and Mamsha Al Mugheirah, two integrated waterfront destinations developed by Modon Properties on Sunday.

Located in Al Dhafra, the two projects are adjacent to Modon’s eco-tourism campsite project, Bab Al Nojoum - Al Mugheirah Resort, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office.

Offering a rich selection of retail, entertainment, leisure, and lifestyle experiences, the 12-hectare Mugheirah Bay houses 15 F&B outlets, three retail buildings, a multipurpose gaming and retail centre, and an events lawn.

Mamsha Al Mugheirah spans across approximately 2 kilometers.


The new vibrant destination also features a diverse range of unique recreational facilities including a splash park, skate park, outdoor gym, cycling track, multi-purpose courts for basketball, football, and volleyball, as well as laser tag and paintball center.

The one-stop waterfront destination overlooks Mamsha Al Mugheirah, a boardwalk nestled between the surrounding natural mangroves, which connects The Bab Al Nojoum – Al Mugheirah Resort and Mugheirah Bay’s entertainment projects. Spanning across approximately 2 kilometers, Mamsha Al Mugheirah offers uninterrupted views of the sea.
