Zarb: a magical bedouin feast

Discover the timeless charm of Abu Dhabi with the Zarb experience at Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa. This unique culinary tradition offers an immersive journey into Arabian culture.

Zarb, an ancient Bedouin cooking technique, has been passed down through generations. It originated when nomadic tribes slow-roasted meat, vegetables, and spices in underground pits for hours. This method not only preserved rich flavours but also reflected the resourcefulness and spirit of the Bedouin people.

As you dine under the stars, surrounded by the serene desert landscape, you'll savour authentic, time-honoured flavours that connect you to the region's deep-rooted history. The Zarb experience is more than just a meal – it's a celebration of heritage, culture, communal gathering, and the enduring beauty of the desert.
