Come together with loved ones for a sustainable iftar at Al Noor at Crowne Plaza Yas Island
You're spoilt for choice with iftars in Abu Dhabi, but for elaborate interiors paired with lavish buffet with signature dishes and live entertainment, book a spot at Al Noor at the Diyafa Ballroom at Crowne Plaza Yas Island.
Running throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan, join your loved ones as the sun sets in a heritage-inspired space. Pick from indoor and outdoor options, and feast on a variety of authentic Middle Eastern delicacies.
Start with dishes such as hummus, kibbeh, sambousek, and falafel before moving on to mains such as l amb ouzi, harees, and mix grill.
You can pair your meal with refreshing Ramadan-inspired juices. Save belly space, as there are plenty of indulgent desserts to pick from, too.
As you break your fast, you will be serenaded by live entertainment from a talented qanun player. It creates the perfect vibe and mood for family and friends gathering to honour tradition and culture.
What's unique about this iftar is that it keeps sustainability close to its heart. Every aspect has been planned to carefully ensure it has a positive impact on the environment. Ingredients have been sourced from Silal and Al Ain Dairy, and you can enjoy dates from Liwa. This ensures authentic flavours, while supporting regional producers.
The UAE considers sustainability very important and even dedicated two years (2013 and 2014) to the very important cause. At Crowne Plaza, a zero-waste approach ensures mindful food prep. All surplus food will be donated through NE'MA's food rescue program.
In line with the UAE Year of Community, Crowne Plaza Yas Island is extending its community outreach this Ramadan by preparing special iftar boxes for taxi drivers. What a wonderful gesture.
The iftar will cost you just Dhs180 per adult and Dhs89 per child ages six to 12. If you're coming with children under six, they can dine for free. You can enjoy iftar from sunset until 10.30pm.
For bookings, call the Crowne Plaza Yas Island team on 050 662 4957 or email the team at jingasia@yasplazahotels.com. And for more information, you can visit yasplazahotels.com/ramadan

There's a new bar coming to Abu Dhabi on the iconic Yas Marina
Abu Dhabi, your nights out are about to get a chic French twist. Bar du Port, the glamorous Riviera-inspired brand that's already a hit in Dubai, Beirut, Doha, Byblos and Cairo, is finally making its way to the capital – and it's dropping anchor at Yas Marina before the end of the year. The new Bar du Port will take over the current Iris space, marking the end of an era for one of Abu Dhabi's most recognisable nightlife venues. But it's not goodbye – Iris has promised fresh plans on the horizon. For now, the waterfront spot is getting a full Bar du Port makeover, complete with laid-back Riviera flair, stylish interiors and an international crowd. What to expect Since its debut in Beirut nine years ago, Bar du Port has built a reputation for 'a little luxury, a lot of fun.' Think long lunches that flow seamlessly into lively evenings, Mediterranean-inspired menus and DJ-fuelled nights that keep the energy going until late. With Yas Marina already buzzing with entertainment and dining options, this addition feels like a natural fit – and a seriously stylish one at that. Set to launch in Q4 2025, Bar du Port is expected to open just in time for the busy race season. That means come F1 weekend, it could very well be one of the hottest tables – and dancefloors – in town. This is one we'll be watching closely. Chic, cosmopolitan and perfect for Abu Dhabi's evolving nightlife scene, Bar du Port looks set to become the city's new go-to for sundowners, dinner dates and late-night fun.
