Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa
The Desert Rose Brunch from Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa provides a range of international plates from Levantine and European dishes, as well as fresh seafood, cured meats, cheese, a live barbecue station and more.

Offside Sports Lounge
Not in the mood for grape or fizz? The Offside Sports Lounge has launched an alternative for those looking for a pint glass and not a flute (there’s still free flowing grape) with the Hops Brunch.

Vamos.
