Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan has once again reminded everyone that he probably knows the city’s restaurant scene better than most influencers do. The royal, Sheikh Hamdan, widely known as Faz, was recently spotted dining at Sirene by GAIA at J1 Beach.
Sheikh Hamdan’s Latest Dinner Spot Is Dubai’s Giant Beach Club Sirene
And honestly, whenever Sheikh Hamdan turns up at a restaurant in Dubai, people immediately start paying attention to the place a little more. If you follow Sheikh Hamdan online, you’ve probably noticed that he genuinely seems to enjoy trying restaurants across Dubai. Not just ultra-formal places either. He’s often seen visiting trendy new openings, local favourites and chef-led concepts around the city.
Dubai Diners Know What A Faz Visit Means
This time, he visited Sirene by GAIA, the Greek-Mediterranean beach club restaurant created by chef Izu Ani and hospitality entrepreneur Evgeny Kuzin.
The restaurant has already been getting attention for its huge beachfront setup, but Sheikh Hamdan’s visit has now pushed it even further into Dubai’s “everyone wants a reservation” category.
Sirene by GAIA is being described as the world’s largest beach club, which honestly sounds exactly like something Dubai would proudly build.
The venue mixes a luxury beach club vibe with Mediterranean dining. There are whitewashed bars, a massive swimming pool, sandy lounge seating and music playing around a central DJ booth while people eat near the beach.
Chef Izu Ani’s menu focuses on Mediterranean flavours with a lighter, polished approach that has already built him a loyal following in Dubai over the years.

A recent Instagram post shared by the chef even showed a relaxed and funny moment between the two, which people online seemed to enjoy.
For many restaurant owners in Dubai, a visit from Sheikh Hamdan carries serious attention. Also, his restaurant visits often end up driving curiosity online, especially among younger Dubai residents always searching for the city’s next big dining spot.
