 This Ramadan, Ras Al Khaimah’s standout beachfront destination invites guests to experience Iftar through a distinctly Turkish lens, as Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah presents a refined dining journey at Orient Restaurant, where Turkish tradition meets contemporary hospitality in a setting designed for meaningful evenings by the sea.

Set against the resort’s expansive private beachfront, Orient transforms into an inviting Ramadan setting, where warm lantern light, elegant detailing, and a calm coastal atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for gatherings with family, friends, and colleagues. Whether seated indoors or enjoying the terrace under the evening sky, the ambience reflects the spirit of the Holy Month, centred around reflection, connection, and shared moments.

Designed as a thoughtfully curated sharing-style experience, the Turkish Iftar menu brings guests together around the table with a vibrant selection of starters that highlight the depth of Anatolian flavours. Dishes such as Salatalik Dovme, prepared with crushed cucumber and aromatic herbs, and smoky Muhammara blended with spicy walnuts and roasted peppers, introduce a bold yet balanced start to the evening, alongside Levrek, Mutabbal, Cig Kofte and classic Hummus. Fresh salads including Ezine & Domates and Zaatar & Patlican add colour and texture to the spread, celebrating seasonal ingredients while honouring the richness of traditional Turkish cuisine.

As the evening unfolds, pass-around hot appetisers including Kibbeh & Samosa and Kavurmali Pide bring warmth and comfort to the table, setting the stage for a choice of signature mains. Highlights include the Adana Kebab, known for its rich seasoning and flame-grilled finish, alongside tender Chicken Shish, succulent Beef Shish, and the classic Ali Nazik, where slow-cooked meat meets velvety smoked aubergine purée. Each dish is crafted to balance authenticity with refinement, delivering a menu that feels both familiar and elevated.

Dessert brings a gentle close to the Iftar experience, with an assortment of golden Turkish baklava delicately layered with pistachios and fine pastry, served alongside traditional Turkish ice cream that adds a playful contrast of texture and temperature. Paired with signature Ramadan beverages, the sweet course leaves a lasting impression, rounding off the evening on a note that feels both comforting and indulgent.

Set against the calm rhythm of the coastline, the Turkish Iftar at Orient reflects Rixos’ signature approach to hospitality, where thoughtful details and a warm, welcoming atmosphere come together. Designed for unhurried conversations and shared moments, the experience captures the essence of Ramadan nights in a setting that feels refined, intimate, and effortlessly inviting.
