SUHAIL

Regional cuisine restaurant €€€

The name Suhail comes from a star that the Bedouins used to use to find their way. An excellent steakhouse in the middle of the desert, but you have been warned: the restaurant is expensive! You can feast on creamy, hand-picked meats in the middle of nowhere, in the magical setting of the Qasr Al Sarab hotel, facing the dunes. A good glass of wine from the 120-vintage cellar will give you the ultimate feeling of exclusivity. Not a bad way to get your strength back after a hike through the dunes of the desert of deserts, eh?

AL HADARA

Indian restaurant

What a nugget hidden in the middle of arcades a little behind the road! At the goodwill of spices and aromatic leaves, alongside farm workers and administration employees, waxed canvas, oralised map. A delicious chicken biryani, among a short selection of preparations from the "subcontinent" as we say around here. Yes, the boss may be a little surprised to see a face from outside the community but then all is well. Just avoid, Miss, coming in wearing those tight shorts that look so good on you.

GHADEER

Lebanese restaurant €€

By the pool of the palace, indoors with bay windows or on the bubble terrace, a charming Mediterranean table with Levantine accents. For a lazy lunch with a Greek salad or a slice of bread, an iced soup and a sorbet. In romantic mode with torches, with the dunes as a backdrop for a casual dinner. And since the desert is hypnotic, we extend it late at night by smoking a narguileh over the embers. The restaurant also serves some of the a la carte dishes on the lounge chairs.
