The Ramadan tent has been set up in the 2,700 sq m pavilion of the Al Wosail grand ballroom and foyer. The space has been transformed into a traditional souq, designed with a blend of Arabian colors such as turquoise, gold and deep red, where guests can find traditional Arabic crafts.

Inspired by old Arabian souqs, the tent features colored silks, drapes, soft velvet cushions, sculpted porches and has the capacity to seat up to 350 persons every night. Other highlights include four exceptionally designed Majlis tents, each of which will provide comfort, privacy as well as exclusivity for up to ten privileged guests.
