By Rachel Miller / January 26, 2026

As the city prepares for the Holy Month, Atlantis, The Palm has confirmed the return of its iconic Asateer Tent. Known for its palatial scale and traditional Arabian design, the venue remains a central hub for residents and visitors looking to experience the spirit of togetherness in one of Dubai’s most famous settings.

For the 2026 season, the tent has been designed to blend heritage with modern influences, and it offers views across the Arabian Gulf and the Palm Island skyline. The venue is capable of welcoming up to 1,730 guests each night and features several distinct seating areas, including the outdoor Asateer Terrace, the Garden Terrace, and private Majlises. This makes it a practical destination for large-scale gatherings or smaller family meals.

For those planning early, group packages and early bird offers are available until 31 January 2026, providing an opportunity to coordinate Ramadan schedules well in advance.

The Iftar experience at Asateer is defined by rotating themed nights that celebrate the culinary diversity of the region. Throughout the month, guests can experience Arabesque, Persian, Khaleeji, and Traditional evenings, each curated by Chef Ali El Bourji, the Director of Culinary at Atlantis Dubai. The buffet features an extensive spread of classic dishes, including charcoal-grilled kebbeh sajieh and a traditional seafood paella slow-cooked with saffron.

A primary highlight of the menu is the spit-roasted whole lamb, which is marinated in Middle Eastern spices, carved live, and served in freshly baked saj bread. The live-cooking stations also feature an oven-baked manakish selection and a dedicated Tandoor station for fresh breads like garlic and butter naan. Iftar runs from sunset until 8:30 pm, priced at AED 295 per person on weekdays and AED 325 on weekends, with children aged four to eleven dining at half price.

As the evening transitions, Asateer becomes a venue for relaxed Suhoor gatherings.

Starting from 10:00 pm, the atmosphere is set by a live trio band featuring an Oud player and singer. The Suhoor is served à la carte, featuring a menu of hot and cold mezze, grilled meats, and traditional Ramadan desserts alongside a variety of beverages. For those looking for a more private experience, the tent offers several VIP options, including specialised booths and Royal Majlises for larger groups.

The minimum spend for Suhoor is AED 160 per person, and the experience continues until 3:00 am. It is important for guests to note that, in accordance with local law, pregnant women and guests under the age of 18 are not permitted inside the tent during Suhoor hours.
