The desert resort is a luxurious villa complex, perfectly blending with the desert landscape with its typical Arabic architecture. It consists of a main building and 109 private villas spread over a vast area.
Culinary highlights are offered not only by the "Kaheela" buffet restaurant, which serves international cuisine and traditional Arabic dishes from a charcoal oven, but also by the 'Farmhouse by Syrco' – run by Syrco Bakker, who was previously awarded two Michelin stars, the "Gobi" which impresses with Asian delicacies, and the "Paddock Cafe" which offers a magnificent view of the wilderness.
Starting from December 5th, 2025, "Zuma" will return to The R Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert for 6 months. The restaurant will present its most popular dishes, from freshly prepared sushi and sashimi to signature Robata dishes, complemented by seasonal creations (Zuma is not part of the Dine-Around program).
