Tired of the same old Iftar offerings everywhere you go? Check out these offerings for something a little different.
folly by Nick & Scott, Madinat Jumeirah
For a second-to-none dining experience this Ramadan, join Nick & Scott at their newly-opened Madinat venue and enjoy an intimate experience at their eight seater open kitchen to observe the team up close and in full flow.
Guests can also choose to look out onto the picturesque views of the Burj Al Arab while watching day turn to dusk. Wanting guests to move away from traditional three-courses and have more of an opportunity to be adventurous, the plates are conveniently sized, yet packed with flavour, and are ideal for sharing with your friends or family.
Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City
Embrace the essence of family and friendship and the finest culinary treats of Ramadan with an intimate private Iftar dining experience in a Presidential suite at InterContinental Dubai Festival, catered to by personal butlers and boarded by the iconic Dubai creek and city skyline.
Make a weekend of it by adding a one night stay for 2 adults and 2 children including a luxury shopping experience at Robinsons Department Store with an AED 1000 voucher and personal stylist.
Signature Iftar Experience – from AED 550 per person based on a group of 8 pax
Signature Iftar Experience with a 1 night stay – AED 3200 for a family of 2
adults, 2 children
Le Cirque, Ritz-Carlton DIFC
This Head Chef Ramadan Wesley Tyron Berghoff and his team have created an Iftar experience that is unique, exciting and interactive. Iftar Avec Le Chef allows each guest to create a bespoke menu based on their culinary preferences.
Each guest will be welcomed to Le Cirque where a member of the team will gain an understanding of their likes and dislikes. This information will then be taken to the kitchen where a three-course tailored menu will be created to reflect the gastronomic mood of the individual diner. Dates and soup will also be served before the main dining experience.
AED 245 per person
Iftar Walk with Frying Pan Adventures, Naif
Experience a true Iftar and enjoy breaking the days fast with the locals. You won’t find lavish buffets here, just good, wholesome food and friendly company. The traditional Iftar is followed by a photo tour of Old Dubai in association with Gulf Photo Plus.
AED 595 per person

These places look wonderful! I’ve never been to Dubai before, but Le Cirue looks so fancy! would love to stay there if I ever come to Dubai.
Also loved that (filling in the blues) concept, it’s the best way to experience the warmth and the spirituality of Ramadan, since this holy month is all about good deeds.
Loved this post, thanks for sharing.
Ramadan Kareem.
