Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at The St. Regis Doha

-

Every year, I always look forward to celebrating the holy month of Ramadan in Doha. What excites me the most is the great number of stunning Ramadan Tent pop-ups – that is traditionally found in many Muslim countries! During this time, Doha’s dining scene is always all out to give you the best of your Ramadan experience. 





A few weeks ago, I got the privilege to attend Ramadan Ghabga in Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at St. Regis. What is Ramadan Ghabga? It happens between Iftar and Suhoor, around 8:30 PM till 10-ish in the evening. The Al Zomorod Tent is located on the ground floor of the hotel. 





Disclaimer: Although I was invited by The St. Regis Doha Hotel, this write-up is meant to be an honest review of my experience. I was not asked by the hotel’s management to post about this and there’s no intention of bragging. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 





The tent is overwhelmingly large. As you step in, you will be welcomed by the elegant setting of the tent with sparkling lanterns from the ceiling. A live Arabic band is there to keep the guests entertained while savoring their foods. Each table was filled with Ramadan essentials like dry fruits, dates and of course, a bottle of water. 









Private majilis are available if you want to have intimate dining with your beloved family and friends. During Sohour, you are allowed to have hookah indoor (which is for me, a not a good idea at all) but during Iftar, you are only allowed to have it at their outdoor seating area.









The food here did not disappoint. 





The fancy feast boasts live cooking stations and Ramadan drinks. Indulge yourselves in an open buffet of exciting traditional & authentic Arabic favorites. They also have a good selection of staples from Indian and Asian cuisines & some international dishes as well. There was a separate counter for grills like shishtawook, lamb, kebabs outside the hall. 

















My favorite was the roasted duck and the Japanese section! I kept on coming back for the salmon salad with crumbs, kani salad and their own version of shrimp ceviche. They also have variety of sliders that your kids will surely love! Don't forget the fries!

















For the desserts, they’ve got a large selection of popular Arabic sweets and international desserts. There was a live crepe cooking station, an ice cream bar and a separate stall for Turkish ice cream. Emirgan Sutis was also there to serve the guests with their signature Turkish coffee.

























Overall, it was a good experience! Al Zomorod Tent is a good option for Iftar/Suhoor. I can say that they've got an extensive spread of foods to choose from. The dessert section, which they've placed in the center of the Ramadan tent, was lavish! Let The St. Regis Doha Hotel add glamour to one of your Ramadan nights.

Eid Staycation at VIP Hotel Doha

First of all, what is Eid Al Fitr? Eid Al Fitr means the celebration of breaking the fast that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Millions of Muslims around the globe gather with their family and relatives for a feast and gift giving. For us, non-Muslims who are working in GCC countries, Eid Al Fitr means looking forward for some days off from work. This will give us the opportunity to have quality time with our family, friends and loved ones like what our Muslim brothers and sisters do. I usually jet off every Eid holiday break but this year, it wasn’t the best choice to do so. (hello, priorities!) This time, I spent it with my family, friends and loved ones here in Doha. I had a long break so as my parents too so we decided to plan a couple of activities to do and one of them was a staycation. For our family’s staycation, we chose the VIP Hotel Doha . VIP Hotel recently opened to the public this year approximately 3 months ago. You can find the hotel in Umm Ghuwailina area w

Wearing Colors Under the Scorching Heat

Winter is officially over and summer has finally landed back in Doha! As the temperatures continue to rise, it is also the perfect time for a refreshing dip in an icy-cold pool, isn't? Time to take out those trendy sunnies, pull out your cutest dress, wear those slouchy trousers and seize the day. Don't forget to put on some sunscreen! Getting ready for summer is much easier than getting ready for winter. It's effortless, light and affordable too. But, staying cool and looking cool in this hot and humid AF weather is not easy! That is the reason why a lot of people stick to light-colored clothes because they tend to absorb the heat less. Despite the heat that we’re currently experiencing here in the sandpit, and although white/pastels are the preferable colors this season, wearing clothes that are brimming with colors under the sun’s scorching heat is also becoming a thing now. Bright colors can actually be worn year round. You just have to figure out how to balance th em p
