Enjoy breakfast or lunch if you wish, while you discover the UAE not many people know about. Explore the traditions of drinking the Arabic coffee, the burning of Bakhour - a delightful Arabian incense -and passing around the fragrant oriental perfumes at the end of a meal, and leave having discovered the real side of the Emirates, with your hosts at Sahary Gate.Cultural Awareness Attend an interactive presentation with pictures and a vivid commentary on the history and background of the UAE; where you don’t only get to watch and listen, but where your Sahary hosts allow you to see, feel, touch and taste aspects of the UAE culture in our authentic majlis.

Ask questions, and you will find out. Enjoy fragrant coffee, served with the sweet local dates, where your hosts will guide you through the proper local way of drinking it.
