For an Iftar meal fit for royalty, the St Regis hotel in Dubai has equipped its luxurious ballroom for the occasion.

From a large party to an intimate dinner, all guests are warmly welcomed.

And yet the splendor of the ambiance is an understated elegance that does not intrude on the experience of communal breaking fast together.

The food is authentic Arabian – 100%.

From roasted lamb leg with mandi rice to the traditional Emirati harees – a porridge of coarsely-ground wheat cooked with meat – the cuisine is impeccably presented with respect for the occasion.

And at the entrance, and within the hall, Arabian spices and herbs abound, and the decorations are colorful.

Desserts are exquisite!

And the children of all ages go crazy over the elaborate chocolate waterfall!

And after the meal, guests are invited to join the Suhoor terrace, where further amazement awaits with the central water fountain and lights display!

Overall, for an unforgettable Iftar with friends and family, it is simply a very special treat to visit the St Regis at least once during this Ramadan – noting well that it will be hard not to return for a second or third time!
