CELEBRATE RAMADAN IN ABU DHABI: ENJOY SUHOOR

Keen to avoid the rush to get to an iftar before sunset? Or do you want to linger post-dinner and spend some time soaking up the evening with some shisha? These suhoors are the perfect spot to wile away the evening.

We love Ramadan for the unique rhythm the city takes on: life is really lived during the night, with everyone out socialising, eating and relaxing with friends and loved ones until the early hours. Find the perfect suhoor to make the most of Holy Month and enjoy some traditional treats and top shisha along with it.

A late finish, doors remain open for suhoor from 10PM until 2.30AM, offering a vibrant and lively atmosphere for catching up with friends. Enjoy the live main course station: select your own ingredients and let the chefs prepare your meal before your eyes, before turning your attention to dessert.
