The holy month has a way of transforming Dubai into something truly magical. Sunset comes around and everyone wants to gather. And if you’re looking for the most gorgeous backdrop to do exactly that, JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai has put together the most covetable Ramadan lineup in town.

First, the moment you walk in: the hotel lobby has been reimagined as the House of Light, a luminous installation by Studio Morcos built around a monumental sculptural misbah and surrounded by the most ethereal gathering of lanterns you’ve ever seen. You can even pen your own Ramadan wish and hang it within the installation, a little moment of quiet amongst all the Dubai buzz that’s genuinely rather lovely.

Now, to the food. The crown jewel is Al Qamar Iftar on The Terrace, breaking your fast beneath open skies with sweeping views of the Burj Khalifa, live oud music drifting through the air, and a buffet that spans Asian wok stations, Middle Eastern grills, Indian tandoors, and a whole lamb ouzi. For Dhs275 per person, it’s the kind of evening that’ll have your Instagram doing very well indeed.

Prefer something more intimate? Kitchen6 delivers that warm, communal energy with six live cooking kitchens, a spectacular dessert display, and all the shawarma your heart desires (Dhs255) from 6:30-11 pm. Meanwhile, Rang Mahal serves a beautifully curated three-course Indian sharing menu inspired by historic spice routes, bold, vibrant, and genuinely delicious at Dhs195 per person.

And for those who like the night to go on a little longer? Nomadia’s Suhoor runs until 2 am, offering the perfect excuse to linger, reconnect, and absolutely not check the time.

Ramadan, but make it spectacular. ✨
