With all the glitz and glamour Fairmont The Palm having an Iftar tent by the name Sababa Open Sky Tent by Mezzah House, partnered with Zuhour Group at the mezzanine floor of the hotel featuring all the traditional and international cuisine with the spirit of Ramadan.My latest Iftar preview invite took me to this plethora Iftar preview at sababa lounge.

Sababa lounge offering its guest an indelible experience of fine dinning Iftar under the luminescence of stars,ebullient atmosphere enriched with live stations and Arabic performances,Egyptian & Turkish Tanoura dances and for the  football fans they will be showing UEFA Euro 2016 matches each day,closing the deal with sheesa for sheesha lovers.Whereas, if you like to be cosy with some privacy than their indoor high-ceilinged,capacious ballroom arrangement is certainly for you.

You can expect the distinguished Fairmont hospitality and warmth with all the arrangements have been done. Every table was served by vigilant servers,making sure guests are served well,we kicked start our evening with fresh orange juice.Small bites of starters like salmon , cheese and cherry tomatoes and  salad bites were served throughout.
The buffet is not too extensive, but provides good options.

After trying both their lentil soup and thick creamy mushroomsoup, we went to the Salad Counter. The salad counter had a wide range of salads, pickles, marinated feta cheese, labneh ball and cold mezze like hummus, moutabel, tabbouleh, fattoush, stuffed vine leaves etc. Everything was fresh and tasty.
