The Menus from Marco Polo

Attend an interactive presentation with pictures and a vivid commentary on the history and background of the UAE; where you don’t only get to watch and listen, but where your Sahary hosts allow you to see, feel, touch and taste aspects of the UAE culture in our authentic majlis.

 Become culturally aware, be it through an open dialogue between you and your host; try on traditional clothes, learn how locals perfume themselves daily with the Bakhour, or learn other charming traditions of this region. Ask questions, and find out.

Enjoy fragrant coffee, served with the sweet local dates, where your hosts will guide you through the proper local way of drinking it. Envelope your senses in the culture of the Emirates, and you will leave Sahary Gate more deeply aware of the culture that defines the people of this desert land.

Guests are given the options of just enjoying the Gahwa (Arabic coffee) & dates offered during the presentation or for the more adventurous individuals, sampling the authentic local cuisine served within the tranquil ambiance of the Majlis or on the house’s breezy rooftop terrace.
