Beautiful majlis tents to break your fast in…

Ramadan is well underway and there are so many brilliant places to break your fast this year. If you’re looking for a majlis that pulls out all the stops though, cast your eyes over these stunning Ramadan tents in Dubai.

Asateer

One of our favourite Ramadan tents in Dubai is Asateer, at Atlantis, The Palm. And it seems we’re not the only ones who think so, as HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Vice-President of the UAE, has already given Asateer his royal stamp of approval. The large tent is adorned with sparkling chandeliers and is open daily from sunset to 8.30pm throughout Ramadan, priced at Dhs240 on weekdays and Dhs260 on weekends, including water and Ramadan juices.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers

While strictly not a tent, the views more than make up for that fact. Nestled between the two skyscrapers of Jumeirah Emirates Towers, this terrace overlooks the stunning Museum of the Future. Dishes include slow roasted local camel and grilled goat, plus seasonal fish such as prawns, kingfish fillets, mackerel, threadfin bream, sea bream, and red snapper. The iftar runs daily from sunset and is priced at Dhs275 per person.
