Discover Dubai’s Hidden Desert Cafe: A must-visit oasis this winter

With the winter season approaching, Dubai’s outdoor dining scene is heating up, literally. Among the top experiences to try this year is Hidden Cafe, a desert pop-up that invites diners to enjoy a magical evening under the stars.
A Cosy Desert Retreat
Nestled amidst Dubai’s rolling dunes near Al Qudra, Hidden Cafe offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle. With boho-chic gazebos in white shades, fairy lights twinkling overhead, and date palms adding splashes of green, the cafe creates a picture-perfect setting for friends and families alike. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking desert sunsets while sipping aromatic Arabic coffee, pairing it with a sweet date cake, or refreshing themselves with a cooling mint lemonade.
Dining Delights
The cafe’s menu caters to all tastes. While the spotlight is on hearty mains and sweet treats, the starters set the tone for a flavourful dining experience under the stars.
The mains are comfort food at its finest, ideal for an evening in the desert. The menu includes sandwiches, wraps, burgers, marshmallows, apple pie, brownies, cheesecake, espresso, cappuccino, other coffee varieties, and fresh juices. But beyond the food, it’s the ambience that will truly delight visitors.
Activities & Location
Located just a short drive from central Dubai, Hidden Cafe offers easy access for both residents and tourists. The surrounding desert is ideal for outdoor adventures such as dune bashing, camel riding, or exploring nearby Al Qudra Lakes for picnics and birdwatching.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing meal under the stars or a cosy spot to unwind after desert activities, Hidden Cafe promises an unforgettable experience.
