Here is where close friends and families can break bread and share moments, thankful to be together amidst such beautiful surroundings.

Suq – The Sultan’s Terrace
The jewel of the oasis, this epicurean corner was the Sultan’s favourite escape from the trivialities that came with ruling his lands. Every bite here reminds him of the delicacies he enjoyed as a child. The lugeimat in particular were just like the ones his grandmother lovingly made. Here, traditional recipes are treated as heirlooms and passed on across generations, so that the world of today can still enjoy them. Gather your family and friends for a sumptuous Arabian Iftar buffet and dine like the Sultan.
Details: AED265 per person inclusive of soft beverages, AED130 for kids aged 6 to 12 years old and complimentary for kids aged 5 and below. From 7-9pm. Shisha service available.
Folia – A Botanist’s Masterpiece
Being surrounded by desert only made the residents of the oasis ever more appreciative of their plant life. A renowned botanist collected seeds from travellers and kept a garden of herbs and vegetables that one could only marvel at. At a secret corner of his garden, he hosted those that shared his appreciation for the world’s flora. He would serve them the finest locally grown produce, cooked in a way that would please and surprise any palate. This Ramadan, guests can tuck into these plant-based dishes from an a la carte menu.
