This Ramadan, The Majlis at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach invites guests on an extraordinary journey through time, recreating the grandeur of historic gatherings that once defined the golden age of Islamic culture. The open-air Majlis will serve Iftar and Suhoor, offering a seamless blend of culinary excellence, cultural traditions, and heartfelt hospitality in a setting of refined elegance, transforming the resort’s event garden.

Drawing inspiration from the celebrated gatherings of scholars, poets, and visionaries - where figures such as Al-Farabi and Al-Jahiz engaged in intellectual discourse over opulent feasts - The Majlis revives the art of hospitality with a contemporary touch. Guests are invited to experience a Ramadan filled with connection, reflection, and gratitude, surrounded by the warmth of lantern-lit majlis seating and the gentle melodies of oud.

Every dish tells a story of heritage and culinary mastery, with Iftar and Suhoor buffets paying homage to centuries-old flavours while infusing them with modern refinement. Guests begin their evening with the cherished tradition of breaking fast with Dates, Laban, and Fresh Juices, followed by comforting bowls of Lentil and Harira Soups. Starters such as Date-stuffed Sambousek, Crispy Kibbeh, and Smoky Baba Ghanoush transport diners to the heart of Middle Eastern culinary heritage.

For the main course, the chefs present a sumptuous selection of timeless dishes. Slow-cooked Lamb Ouzi, marinated in aromatic spices and served with saffron-infused rice adorned with nuts and dried fruits, takes centre stage. Fish Sayadieh offers a delicate balance of fragrant rice and spiced seafood, while Chicken Musakhan, infused with the tangy warmth of sumac, evokes the comforting essence of home-cooked meals. Adding to the feast, the resort’s famous homemade Shawarma and Mixed Grille Barbecue bring the rich, smoky flavours of traditional open-flame cooking. Vegetarian options feature flavourful specialities such as Stuffed Vine Leaves and Grilled Eggplant.

No Ramadan feast is complete without an indulgent selection of delectable desserts. Guests can savour golden Kunafa filled with creamy cheese, Pistachio Baklava, and the delicate floral notes of Rosewater Panna Cotta, each bite a tribute to the lavish feasts of caliphs and sultans. A traditional Lebanese ice cream station adds to the sweet offerings, featuring an array of authentic flavours crafted using time-honoured techniques. A steaming cup of traditional Arabic coffee provides the perfect conclusion to an evening of culinary delights.

As the night deepens, Suhoor offers a tranquil and restorative experience. Freshly baked breads, warm Manakish topped with za’atar or cheese, Shakshuka with spiced tomatoes and eggs, and Seasonal Fruits with Honeyed Yoghurt ensure a nourishing start to the day ahead. In the soft glow of lanterns, guests can relax in the majlis, lingering over carefully prepared dishes, enjoying shisha, and experiencing the warm embrace of timeless hospitality.

Every element of the Majlis has been thoughtfully curated to embody the spirit of Ramadan. Inspired by the grand gatherings of Alhambra’s palatial majlis, the setting features intricate Arabesque décor and softly glowing lanterns. The gentle strains of a traditional trio, including an oud player, enhance the serene and sophisticated ambience. Guests are welcomed into a world where past and present merge, where the elegance of Islamic heritage is celebrated with a modern touch, and where every detail reflects the generosity and warmth that define this sacred season.

“At Four Seasons Resort Dubai, we believe that Ramadan is a time to come together, to celebrate shared traditions, and to embrace the spirit of generosity,” says Clémence Pondard, Director of Food and Beverage at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. “The Majlis is our way of honouring this cherished season, offering a space where guests can enjoy an unforgettable dining experience steeped in history, culture, and heartfelt hospitality.”
