Having completed a stage at a Michelin Star restaurant and pastry training, Chef Alaa's expertise extends beyond traditional boundaries. He has successfully launched an impressive total of 13 restaurants throughout his career, each reflecting his dedication to culinary innovation and quality.

 

Chef Alaa's appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Marriott Hotel, Al Jaddaf, with the brand re-conceptualising several restaurants and other concepts to stay relevant and exciting to guests. In January 2024, the hotel will unveil TerraMar, a Mediterranean rooftop restaurant and pool lounge, breathing new life into the hotel’s pool-side dining experience.

 

Looking ahead, tweaks to the all-day dining restaurant, The Market Place, are on the horizon, including a complete overhaul of its theme nights.
