Ramadan in Dubai is a truly special time of year, when the city slows down just enough to let tradition and togetherness take centre stage. The evenings come alive with the call to prayer, the scent of incense in the air, and families and friends gathering to break their fast. Iftar tents capture this spirit perfectly. They transform hotel gardens, beachfronts, and open spaces into warm, welcoming spots where people come together over generous spreads of food, live music, and that unmistakable sense of community. Exploring these tents offers more than just a meal; it's a chance to soak up the ambience, enjoy classic Ramadan flavours, and experience Dubai's unique blend of heritage and luxury. Whether you're after something grand or more intimate, these venues make the holy month feel even more magical.
Here are some of the must-visit Iftar Tents in Dubai.
