Step into a scene straight out of an Arabian fairytale and head to this desert oasis, set in the rolling sand dunes away from the hubbub of central Dubai. Savor a buffet dinner and mesmerizing live entertainment, which includes tanoura dancer, instrumental band performance, Dj, belly dancers, singers, camel show and many more.

Dubai is home to some of the world’s most diverse restaurants, but you may struggle to find some authentic Emirati local food. Al Hadheerah restaurant is a haven of Arabic cuisine, with dishes lovingly prepared in front of your eyes at live cooking stations, wood-fired ovens, and spit roasts.

Whole lamb, skewered chicken, and grilled-to-order fish are all on the menu, not to mention the huge array of desserts to choose from—so make sure you leave some room.

Sit back during your meal and be entertained by the live band and the belly dancers, and, if you aren't feeling too full after all the delicious food you've just devoured, you can even take a camel ride through the desert.
