Most Elegant Iftar & Suhoor Experiences in Dubai
In Dubai, Ramadan dining has become as much about place as it is about the plate. This season, the city’s most distinguished addresses present settings that honour tradition while elevating it through design, scale and service. From intimate courtyards to landmark tents, these are the tables worth reserving.

At The Lana – Dorchester Collection, Ramadan unfolds within Veranda, the hotel’s courtyard overlooking Marasi Bay. In collaboration with UAE fragrance house KAYALI, founded by Mona Kattan, the property introduces the KAYALI Majlis — an open-air setting shaped by scent, mood and detail.
The concept references KAYALI’s Freedom Collection, with Chef Jouni Ibrahim composing a menu that moves confidently between regional classics and contemporary favourites. Expect hot and cold mezze, sushi and sashimi, Arabic mixed grill, ouzi, truffle pasta and a thoughtful selection of Middle Eastern desserts, alongside premium Arabic coffee blends.

Ramadan dining in Dubai continues to mature. Tradition remains central, but presentation, atmosphere and service now define the experience as much as the menu itself. Whether by the sea, beneath a grand canopy or within a discreet courtyard, the city offers settings suited to every style of gathering this season.
