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.
Guests arrive as the sun begins to set, gathering for iftar around long, shared tables. 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.
It is an invitation to slow down, to gather, and to share together.
