Three new cafes have opened in the Al-Masar Garden at the Zayed National Museum, the national museum of the United Arab Emirates. The cafes offer visitors a unique experience blending tradition and modernity, showcasing Emirati culinary arts and contemporary dishes.
In «Rukn», tradition meets modernity. Drawing inspiration from the cuisine of North Africa and the Arabian Gulf, it offers dishes prepared in the Emirati style of cooking.
Emirati twins, Maitha and Abderrahman Al-Hashemi, founders of «Savor by Twins», have created Italian gelato with Emirati flavors. They use high-quality ingredients inspired by Emirati recipes, prepared by hand to offer guests a rich culinary experience.
Named after the Sidr tree, a symbol of generosity and authenticity in the UAE, the café and bakery «Sadrat Artisan» offers a selection of Emirati baked goods with a modern touch and other food options available throughout the day. The recipes are prepared by hand using sustainable methods with seasonal local ingredients.
Al-Masar Garden stretches from Saadiyat Coast between Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi to the museum's entrance. It serves as an open-air exhibition space featuring local plants, fruit trees, and vegetables, and visually narrates the life story of the UAE's founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, through a diversity of desert, oasis, and urban ecosystems.
