United Arab Emirates Dinner

Bailliage of United Arab Emirates
Ras al Khaimah, October 22, 2022

At Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Beach Resort & Spa
" The food and wine pairings were excellent. The service faultless. The floor show was terrific "

This special dinner was held in the lovely neighbouring Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. We were welcomed with Champagne Laurent-Perrier and cocktails in the Arriba Rooftop bar which specialises in rum. Dinner was served in the Latin/Caribbean-themed Vida famous for churrascaria and live entertainment. NB. A churrascaria is a place where meat is cooked in churrasco style, which translates roughly from the Portuguese word for “barbecue”.

The food and wine pairings were excellent. The service faultless. The floor show was terrific.

After dining in Vida during the following days, we realised what an enormous effort went into making the dinner special.

Thank you, and congratulations to the kitchen and service teams, especially Executive Chef Eliana Cortes and Sommelier Sreejith Sukumaran.

As part of the package members and their guests enjoyed the beach, Sand Bar, pool bar, water aerobics in the saltwater pool, Zumba, Pilates and yoga.

As well as the wonderful dinner it was a busy, joyful weekend.
