OPEN TENT is a new Ramadan iftar and suhoor concept that blends Japanese and Arabic cuisine, contemporary design and cultural sensibility. This month-long, carefully-crafted culinary project is organised by CHI-KA, an Alserkal Avenue-based kimono shop and art space, and is held in partnership with Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors.

Expressing universal values of cultural tolerance, compassion, creativity and community building, OPEN TENT is a welcoming space, bringing together people from all walks of life. Surrounded by contemporary minimalist Japanese decor, bonsai gardens, Arabic calligraphy murals and live oud, residents and visitors are invited to break fast over iftar and enjoy suhoor with friends and family.

A number of activities and workshops will be held in the over the entire month of Ramadan, including tea ceremony, bonsai tree workshops, origami, poetry recitals, games and more. All are complementary upon entry. Both adults and children are welcome to participate.

OPEN TENT iftar starts daily from sunset (approximately 7pm) to 10pm offering a buffet menu reflective of the Tent’s Japanese-Arabic fusion theme. Iftar is priced at 135dhs. Suhoor is a-la-carte and is held Wed - Sat from 10:30pm to 2am. Suhoor is priced at 110dhs.
