Full description
Enjoy first-class Arabic cuisine among the unique ambience of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve at Nomad Garden.
Until May 31st, you can enjoy 50% savings on your visit to Nomad Garden, so you can experience Bedouin-inspired dining in our delightful dining space for a unique, limited-time price.
Starting with a scenic drive from the reserve’s entrance, your experience begins with a fascinating wildlife drive, providing you with unique opportunities to spot the native flora and fauna of the surrounding landscape. The first stop for the evening is the Whispering Angel sunset stop, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink and canapés while looking out across the stunning desert landscape before heading to your table for an evening of multi-course dining inspired by Bedouin cooking styles.
The ambience that encapsulates the dining space is drawn from its charming seating areas, lush desert fauna surrounding the area, and the selection of experiences you can enjoy alongside your multi-course menu.
Your menu has been crafted in collaboration with JW Marriott Marquis Dubai to bring you some of the finest flavours of Arabia. Finding inspiration from the heritage of our surroundings, our menu includes traditional ‘zarb’ cooking methods for slow-cooked lamb, as well as freshly baked Arabic breads, a selection of cold mezzeh and the famous chocolate kunafa dessert.
As part of your evening, you can enjoy traditional desert activities like a camel ride and falcon display, dune drive, Moroccan mint tea and Arabic sweet tasting. Ambient lounge music is played at sunset. Please note, we have temporarily paused the live oud player and fire show performances and will welcome them back later in the year.
