Layali El Hilmiya Ramadan tent 2018

The fully air-conditioned tent – in reality a luxurious pavilion built partly over the hotel’s expansive swimming pool a giant marquee designed to reflect the traditions of Arabia and summon up an atmosphere of ultimate hospitality where friends, family, colleagues and strangers mix in the most conducive of environments.

Capable of seating up to 1,000, Layali El Hilmiya guests are equally at home whether they are among a small group of friends and family or joining in a larger corporate celebration.

There’s à la carte menus as well as an Iftar buffet of traditional Arabian and international fare including hot and cold mezzes. Authentic Ramadan favourites make a welcome buffet appearance with chefs cooking the stuffed Fateeh savoury pastries and saj flatbreads right in front of diners. The hotel will also feature for the very first time their latest food trucks from which fresh falafel and sugar-soaked kunafa pastries will be served!

Seasonal sweets are also given prominence with the traditional achtaliyeh cream pudding and katayef sweet dumplings.

Suhoor guests will find themselves mixing with the glamorous media celebrity radio and TV presenters as Star FM broadcasts live from Layali El Hilmiya. The broadcast will also feature a lucky draw with a superb selection of prizes.
