Ramadan 2007 Iftar tents and marquees - some suggestions

Mosques in Dubai will have charity Iftar tents with water, dates, salads, rice, meat, and yogurt for the many laborers and workers in Dubai breaking their daily fast, some set up by the UAE Red Crescent Society. At the other end of the scale, residents can spend several hundred dhs on a lavish buffet spread at one of the many hotels in Dubai. For something less extravagent, head to one of the many Arabic restaurants in Dubai.

Diwan Al-Khayal at Jumeirah Beach Hotel (JBH) - live band with Damascene music.
Emaar Properties Ramdan Iftar Tent on Burj Dubai Boulevard, close to Old Town Island in Downtown Burj Dubai (and get a view of the tallest building in the world). Set menus cost between Dh 120 and Dh 165 per person, live music includes Oud player. Open 2100-0300 daily. Impressive, some say a bit snobby, but then that's Downtown Burj Dubai for you.
Emirates Bank (EBI) - their new branch on Jumeirah Beach Road (opposite the Jumeirah Beach Hotel) has a Ramadan Fair and Zyara Tent from 8pm to midnight, and EBI customers get a 50% discount.
