Arabian Adventures, part of the Emirates Group, is introducing The Nomad Garden, a new benchmark in luxury desert experiences, set within the pristine Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR), one of the UAE’s largest protected nature reserves.
The Nomad Garden experience reimagines the
traditional desert safari into an elevated evening of world-class dining,
immersive entertainment, and authentic Arabian heritage, designed for
discerning residents and travellers seeking a truly distinctive escape.
Golden hour with Whispering Angel
The evening begins at the Whispering Angel
Sunset Lounge, a glamorous dune-top retreat created in partnership with
Whispering Angel, a world-renowned Provence Rosé known for refined flavours,
and being popular as an aperitif. Here, guests savour curated canapés and a
glass of rosé while watching the sun dip below the desert horizon.
A culinary journey in the desert
Dinner unfolds under the stars with a
Bedouin-inspired barbeque curated by Signature Events by JW Marriott Marquis
Dubai, featuring private tables, personalised service, and sunken firepit
lounges. The bespoke menu celebrates authentic regional flavours, including
Moroccan mint tea, freshly baked bread, Arabic mezze, and slow-cooked meats
prepared using the traditional Bedouin ‘Zarb’ method, followed by a decadent
‘Dubai chocolate’ dessert. Guests can also enjoy a fully serviced bar featuring
a curated selection of premium beverages, available as an optional enhancement.
Wildlife encounters and immersive
entertainment
Expert guides lead guests through the DDCR
for wildlife sightings en route, complemented by falcon displays and camel
rides. As night falls, the desert comes alive with live Oud music during dinner
and a spectacular fire show to close the evening.
“Set against one of the UAE’s most pristine
landscapes, The Nomad Garden seamlessly blends Bedouin heritage with modern
luxury, offering a refined desert experience designed to engage the senses and
create lasting memories,” said Sébastien Garcia, Vice President – Destination
Management (UAE & Gulf Region) at dnata Travel Group. “Featuring
restaurant-quality cuisine and curated entertainment, this multi-faceted
concept reflects Arabian Adventures’ commitment to innovation – offering
residents and visitors an authentic yet elevated way to connect with the
region’s culture and natural beauty.” -TradeArabia News Service
