APERITIVO IN THE DESERT From the piazzas of Italy to the heart of the Empty Quarter
Aperitivo is the Italian tradition of enjoying a beverage before meals. It began as a cherished social ritual during the Roman times, adapted from the ancient Greek practice of savouring honey-flavoured wine before meals. Even now, it remains an integral part of Italian culture.
More than a prelude to dinner, it is a moment of transition, a quiet interlude between the demands of the day and the pleasures of the night.
Here, in the vastness of the Rub’ al Khali, this age-old tradition finds new life. Paired with a selection of pinchos and cicchetti, we transport you to the Mediterranean. The golden hues of the desert mirror the sun-kissed coastlines, while the soft ripple of the infinity pool and the cool desert breeze evoke the cadence of the waves.
Let the magic of this place transport you into a realm where life unfolds at a gentle, unhurried pace, leaving you with memories that linger long after the last bite has been savoured.
From 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
