About
Full description
Enjoy first-class Arabic cuisine among the unique ambience of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve at The Nomad Garden.
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 entertainment and 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, a live oud player sets the tone at dinner, and a spectacular fire show acts as the closing event of the evening.
