The gathering of family around the table, reconnecting with old friends and an opportunity to slow down and reflect; Ramadan is a special time of the year when cherished memories are made.
Immersing guests in the beauty of these Arabic traditions, Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah invites families and friends to place themselves in the luxurious surrounds of the Layali Ramadan Tent.
As night falls, choose between al fresco surroundings in the hotel’s garden or cosy and intimate interiors to break your fast. Showcasing more than 100 dishes, delve into offerings of Arabic mezze, sushi and salads before indulging in lamb ouzi, saj and barbecue to the sound of live Oud and Tabla players until 9pm. Save room for dessert as the Kempinski chefs also serve up an array of traditional delicacies and seasonal sweets.
When the clocks strike 10pm, take your place for Suhoor at the Layali Tent in anticipation of the sun rising over Palm Jumeirah the next morning. Chat to close friends and colleagues as you sample soups and Arabic mixed grill before finishing with a sweet ending of date cheesecake and Umm Ali as you prepare for the upcoming day.
And for those who want to extend their time together this Holy Month, the Time to Travel package offers special rates for stays of four and eight nights including daily breakfast at Brunello Restaurant and a relaxation-inducing 30-minute massage in-suite or in a poolside spa cabana. The wellness experience can be elevated with additional spa treatments curated by Cinq Mondes.
Iftar can be enjoyed for AED 245 (US $67) during the week and AED 260 ($71) per person on the weekend. Suhoor is available à la carte.
