TL;DR
For small purchases near Rixos Bab Al Bahr, guests in September 2026 recommended the shop in the first 'pyramid' — a residential complex a 5-minute walk to the right of the hotel exit, with a pharmacy nearby. Chocolate-coated dates then cost from about 30 dirhams per 200 g, and a chocolate bar from 25 dirhams. A bigger shop, according to an August review, is on the Radisson grounds, and for proper shopping people take a taxi to Al Hamra Mall or a mall in Ras Al Khaimah.
Souvenir prices (September 2026): chocolate-coated dates from about 30 dirhams per 200 g, and chocolate from 25 dirhams a bar and up, depending on quality and brand.
Dates and small gifts: in September 2026 a guest recommended the shop in the first 'pyramid' — not a hotel but a residential apartment building. Leaving the hotel, turn right; it is literally a 5-minute walk. There is a pharmacy next to it as well.
In August 2026 a guest wrote that there is a small convenience-style supermarket opposite the hotel, and several cafés where you can eat within a 10–15 minute walk.
If the small shop does not have what you need: according to an August 2026 review, the shop on the Radisson grounds is bigger, with a correspondingly wider selection.
Back in July 2026 participants also confirmed there is a shop within walking distance of Rixos — handy for quick small purchases without a trip to a mall.
Other guests described the 'pyramid' shops in their own way: in June 2026 one mentioned a small mini-market in the third 'pyramid', and in September another mentioned a supermarket and pharmacy in the 'pyramid' farthest from the hotel (also residential apartments). The numbering depends on where you count from, so it is easiest to ask at reception.
For a wider choice of groceries and shopping, guests in June–July 2026 took a taxi to Al Hamra Mall or a mall in Ras Al Khaimah. In June a participant noted that shops there suit different budgets — from mass-market to luxury — and discounts can be found in places.
