As Ramadan dawns, The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, invites guests to celebrate the month with meaningful experiences that bring people together. From elegant iftars and relaxed suhoors at the acclaimed Giornotte and Mijana to intimate private venues and a curated Ramadan market, the hotel offers a space to embrace the season’s spirit of generosity, connection, and tradition.

Framed by the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, this Venetian-inspired retreat sets the scene for gatherings that are both beautiful and memorable—whether beneath softly glowing lanterns or under the open night sky.

Giornotte

At Giornotte, the iftar buffet showcases the richness of Middle Eastern and Emirati cuisine alongside favourite Ramadan classics and international dishes, all crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. Live cooking stations add theatrics to the dining experience, while the calming sounds of the Qanun provide a musical backdrop. Guests can choose to dine indoors or on the terrace, surrounded by lush gardens, creating a setting that feels both vibrant and intimate.

Until 10pm. AED360 per adult and AED180 per child (ages 6–11).

Mijana

Listed in the MICHELIN Guide for traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, Mijana offers a refined journey through regional flavours. The iftar set menu presents thoughtfully paired dishes designed to honour local traditions, accompanied by the soulful tones of live oud. Later, suhoor is served à la carte beneath the stars, complemented by live oud and Qanun performances that lend a serene, reflective ambience to the evening.

Until 9pm. Set menu at AED210 per person.

Ramadan Market

The hotel’s Ramadan market brings a taste of Istanbul to Abu Dhabi, showcasing handpicked artisan creations, from delicate glassware and ceramics to richly woven carpets and bespoke gifts. The market also features a design corner by Istanbul-based Atelier Terra Madre, presenting exclusive handcrafted Ramadan sets and tableware making their UAE debut after Maison & Objet Paris. Alongside flavours from Giornotte, this market offers a sensory celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and gifting.

Sunset until 9pm.
