A new steakhouse haven has arrived in Dubai with the launch of Fumée, devoted to the artistry of smoke and flavour. Expanding its presence across two key destinations, each location offers a unique interpretation of the brand’s signature warmth and sophistication. At Fairmont Dubai, FUMÉE Steakhouse embodies contemporary elegance with rustic undertones, while at District 8 in Dubai Marina, the restaurant overlooks the waterfront, blending modern refinement with the charm of coastal dining.

At Fumée in Fairmont Dubai, guests are welcomed to an elevated setting where high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and candlelit ambience create a romantic, inviting atmosphere. Dark leather seating, touches of greenery, and playful artworks lend depth, while the soft notes of background jazz creates a space that feels timeless. Over at District 8, Fumée takes on a more artistic expression, featuring deep textures, golden accents and sculpted detailing inspired by the grandeur of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Framed by the glittering waterfront, the space embodies refined luxury and modern artistry, unified by Fumée’s signature spirit of craftsmanship and flavour.

At the heart of Fumée Steakhouse lies a single culinary vision shared across both locations, where every dish tells the same story of craftsmanship, smoke and refined flavour. Built around premium cuts expertly seasoned to deliver rich, unforgettable tastes, the menu features meats that melt effortlessly in the mouth. Signature highlights include the Truffle Beef Tartare layered with truffle aioli and crispy leek, and the 8 Hour Asado Beef Ribs, slow cooked until perfectly tender, creating dishes that feel indulgent and memorable. The essence of Fumée is captured in The Golden Ottoman, a spectacular sharing steak that takes centre stage at the table. The menu also embraces the tastes of the sea with the Lobster Linguine al Bisque, featuring fresh lobster in a rich tomato bisque sauce. Mediterranean and Levantine inspired meze, fresh salads and sides such as Truffle Parmesan Fries and Chargrilled Asparagus add variety and depth, while desserts like the classic Künefe with Maraş ice cream or a Molten Chocolate Fondant with pistachio cream bring the experience to a sweet and satisfying finale.

Complementing the food, Fumée enhances the dining experience with a refined selection of handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, offering something flavourful and refreshing for every palate. The restaurant also takes pride in its boutique collection of wines, thoughtfully curated to pair with the menu and elevate the rich flavours of the meats.

“For us, every dish at Fumée begins with respect for the ingredient and the flame,” said Kadir Dogan, General Manager of Fumée Steakhouse.“We allow the natural character of premium cuts and fresh produce to shine, enhancing them with just the right touch of smoke, seasoning and time. To complete the experience, our handcrafted cocktails and carefully curated boutique grapes are designed to complement the richness of the menu, creating pairings that are bold, balanced and memorable.”

With its luxurious interiors, refined cuisine and atmosphere of understated elegance, Fumée Steakhouse is a distinctive addition to Dubai’s dining scene. Blending fire, flavour and finesse, the restaurant invites guests to savour a steakhouse experience that is as memorable as it is indulgent – now with two exceptional locations: Fairmont Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Dubai Marina Walk, District 8.

This year’s Saudi National Day offers more than a long weekend. With direct flights connecting Riyadh and Jeddah with the Maldives, Saudi travellers can exchange city life for spacious private villas, world-class dining and some of the Indian Ocean’s most memorable experiences in under a day. Across its Maldivian resorts, Sun Siyam brings together many of the things Saudi travellers look for in an island holiday – space, privacy, family-friendly experiences, premium all-inclusive halal dining and plenty to experience without leaving the island.

Across the Maldives, Sun Siyam’s three collections offer a different experience for every kind of National Day escape. The Luxury Collection, includes Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, focuses on elevated island living, privacy and spacious accommodation; the Lifestyle Collection, featuring Siyam World and Sun Siyam Olhuveli, brings together entertainment, experiences and family fun; while the Privé Collection’s Sun Siyam Iru Veli, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and Sun Siyam Pasikudah (in Sri Lanka) offers a more intimate barefoot island escape.

For Families Who Want Space, Privacy and More Choice

Sun Siyam Iru Fushi combines luxurious beach and overwater villas, including private-pool options, with plenty for every generation to enjoy. Families can spend their days between the beach, pools, water sports and kids’ activities, while parents can retreat to the award-winning Spa by Thalgo for a quieter side of island life.

Dining is also a major part of the experience, with 15 dining and drink venues offering plenty of choice throughout the stay. Premium all-inclusive options, halal food and in-villa dining and floating breakfasts make it easy to dine on your own schedule, while multilingual butler service, including Arabic-speaking assistance, adds another layer of convenience for Saudi guests. With kids staying free on selected offers, Iru Fushi is particularly suited to larger families looking to spend the their holiday together without compromising on privacy.

For Adventure from Morning to Night

Few resorts in the Maldives can promise horse riding in the morning, shipwreck diving in the afternoon and an evening of go-kart racing. Siyam World was designed for travellers who believe one holiday should contain many adventures, bringing an unexpected sense of energy to the traditional Maldives experience.

Families and groups can move from the island’s horse ranch and go-kart track to its floating water park, dive beneath the surface to discover its shipwreck, or simply spend the day enjoying the beach and their private pool. Spacious villas and multi-bedroom residences give larger families and groups room to stay together, while an extensive choice of restaurants and bars means there is always somwhere different to dine.

The resort’s 24-hour WOW! Premium All-Inclusive concept brings dining, drinks and a wide range of experiences together, making Siyam World particularly well suited to Saudi families and groups looking for a holiday where almost everything is taken care of from the moment they arrive.

For Couples Who Want the Island to Themselves

For couples looking to turn the National Day break into a romantic escape, Sun Siyam Iru Veli, offers a more intimate side of the Maldives. Spacious beach and overwater suites, private pools and a strong sense of seclusion give couples the space and privacy to enjoy the island at their own pace.

With its honeymoon appeal, romantic dining experiences and premium all-inclusive offering, Iru Veli is particularly suited to couples looking for a few uninterrupted days together, combining privacy and understated island luxury in an intimate Maldivian setting.

With the Maldives within easy reach of Saudi Arabia, National Day is a chance to make the long weekend feel considerably longer. So why wait?

Sana Dubai Launches “Hashhhhhhhhh Brunch,” a Sunday Ritual Rooted in Uzbek Comfort Food

Sana Dubai, the Uzbek dining destination at Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, announced the launch of its new weekly Sunday Brunch, “Hashhhhhhhhh Brunch,” beginning September 13, 2026. Running every Sunday from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the brunch reimagines the day after Saturday night as a ritual of recovery, “the Uzbek way.”

Guests will gather around a table designed for sharing, opening with fresh Uzbek vegetables before moving into Sana’s signature Hash: a steaming bowl finished with baked bone marrow and garlic, a dish generations swear by the morning after. From there, diners choose their “cure” — slow-cooked wagyu beef cheek with silky potato purée, carved tableside by the chef, or a whole river-caught Sazan fish in garlic ajika sauce. The feast closes with a plate of traditional Uzbek sweets.

“Hash has always held a special place in Uzbek cuisine — a dish generations have gathered around, made slowly and with care. We wanted to give it the spotlight it deserves, so we built our Sunday Brunch around it: a truly authentic Uzbek feast, unhurried and generous, the way it’s meant to be shared.” — Leonid Litvin, General Manager, Sana Dubai

Hashhhhhhhhh Brunch is offered across three packages to suit every table:

Non-Alcoholic — AED 350 per person
House — AED 450 per person
Premium — AED 650 per person

The brunch is unhurried and indulgent by design, built for guests who want to slow down, gather with family and friends, and let a proper feast do the recovering.

Hashhhhhhhhh Brunch Every Sunday, 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM, starting September 13, 2026 Sana Restaurant, Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, Dubai Reservations:https://www.sevenrooms.com/experiences/sanarestaurant/sunday-brunch-5109127899627520?tracking=marketing
