Open skies. Shared moments

Valentine's Day at Sonara

In the open desert, Valentine’s at Sonara is shaped by flavour, fire, and presence. 

The evening centres around a chef-led dining experience where contemporary Mediterranean cuisine meets Middle Eastern influences, enjoyed beneath the stars and framed by firelight and dunes.

Signature performances warm the night, complementing the setting without distraction. Intimacy here is found not in enclosure, but in openness – shared plates, expansive surroundings, and the calm of the desert under the stars.

This Valentine’s, guests may choose between a sunset experience, dinner, or both.

One by Nature, A Season of togetherness

At Nara, Ramadan is experienced beneath open desert skies, where the evening unfolds with warmth, ritual, and a sense of ease.

The experience centres on a chef-led dining journey designed for generosity and sharing, framed by firelight and the calm of the surrounding dunes. Subtle cultural elements and soft illumination accompany the evening, allowing conversation and presence to lead.

Ramadan at Nara is not rushed.

Nara is a dream. From the moment we booked with Mildred, everything was seamless. The nests are like a dream storage: cozy, unique, and so peaceful. If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Nara is where dreams go to rest.
Melissa S
Wow this was so cool..! Absolutely a magical experience, really beyond expectations! From start to finish everything perfectly and in detail arranged. Really a professional organization. My little brother has a nut allergy and every employee was aware of it. All staff were also mega friendly and quite service oriented. The food was great the show was great! Overall an Absolute must! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the fantastic evening.
