Is dining at Al Diwaan included?

The answer is channel- and rate-dependent: Emirates' official terms include three meals under that rate, while Marriott says breakfast is available for a fee.

What is the setting and dress code?

Al Diwaan has an indoor dining room and an alfresco veranda overlooking the reserve. The official dining page states smart casual.

Does Al Diwaan host the festive meals?

Yes. Group meals, Christmas services, the New Year's Eve gala and New Year's Day meals use Al Diwaan as dated services, not separate permanent restaurants.

How should guests reserve Al Diwaan?

Use the published hotel telephone number or dining email, and ask the house to state the meal terms attached to the exact booking channel and rate.

Indoor dining room and alfresco reserve-facing veranda; smart casual

Al Maha's only restaurant serves international food in an indoor dining room and on an alfresco veranda overlooking the desert reserve. Exact official hours are breakfast daily 7:00–10:30 AM, lunch 12:30–2:30 PM and dinner 7:30–10:00 PM; no weekly closure is published, and the dress code is smart casual. Emirates' official channel terms say all three meals are included under that rate, while Marriott says breakfast is available for a fee, so neither position should be applied to every booking. Festive programming uses this same restaurant for dated group meals, Christmas services, the New Year's Eve gala and New Year's Day services rather than creating separate venues.

Reservation Tip

Use the published hotel telephone number or dining email. Confirm the booked meal plan because Emirates' channel terms and Marriott's breakfast wording do not establish one universal inclusion rule.
