The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi invites guests to celebrate the season through a series of thoughtfully curated dining experiences that reflect the values of reflection, generosity, and togetherness. From a Moroccan-inspired beachfront pop-up, Dar Chaouen, to a refined Iftar at Oléa, each setting offers a unique way to gather with family and friends in an atmosphere of warmth and elegance.
Set along the shores of Saadiyat Island, Dar Chaouen is an exquisite space reimagined for the Holy Month as an intimate Moroccan-inspired retreat.

With sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, Dar Chaouen provides a tranquil setting where guests can enjoy both Iftar and Suhoor under the stars, surrounded by understated elegance.
At Dar Chaouen, indulge in a thoughtfully curated à la carte menu inspired by the vibrant flavours of Morocco, and a fusion of Pacific Rim cuisine. Choose from warm khobz and a variety of mezze, alongside fragrant salads such as zaalouk, taktouka, and chermoula. The experience continues with a choice of comforting lamb harira or lentil soup, followed by a selection of signature tagines — from tender lamb and aromatic chicken to delicately spiced seafood, each slow-cooked with rich depth of flavour. To conclude, traditional Moroccan sweets and a ceremonial mint tea ritual offer a graceful tribute to hospitality, flavour, and togetherness. For private gatherings, an exclusive set menu has been specially curated, offering a seamless dining experience with a selection of signature starters, mains, and desserts.
