Culinary highlights are offered not only by the "Kaheela" buffet restaurant, which serves international cuisine and traditional Arabian dishes from a charcoal oven, but also by 'Farmhouse by Syrco' – run by Syrco Bakker, who was previously awarded two Michelin stars, "Gobi" which impresses with Asian delicacies, and the "Paddock Cafe" which offers a wonderful view of the wilderness.
From December 5, 2025, "Zuma" will return to The R Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert for 6 months. The restaurant will showcase its most popular dishes, from freshly prepared sushi and sashimi to signature robata dishes, complemented by seasonal creations (Zuma is not part of the Dine-Around program).
