Following the success of its second season, Zuma Ras Al Khaimah will remain open at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert through to April 2027, extending its presence within one of the UAE’s most unique dining destinations.
Set within the expansive desert landscape of the Al Wadi Desert, the continuation reflects the strong demand and growing popularity of Zuma’s pop-up, which has quickly become a sought-after escape for both UAE residents and international visitors.
Zuma Ras Al Khaimah offers a distinctive interpretation of the brand’s globally recognised dining concept, translating its signature contemporary Japanese cuisine and vibrant atmosphere into a setting defined by natural beauty and tranquillity.
The pop-up unfolds across a two-level space within the resort, where the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the rolling dunes, ideal for sunset gatherings, while the main restaurant opens directly onto the desert floor. As day turns to night, the setting transforms into an atmospheric desert escape, with fire pits glowing under the stars and the landscape taking on a quieter, more dramatic energy.
This unique environment has positioned Zuma Ras Al Khaimah as more than just a dining destination, but as a complete experience, blending world-class cuisine with a sense of place that feels both immersive and transportive. From the possibility of spotting gazelles and camels in the distance to the calm of the desert at night, each visit offers a different perspective on the setting.
The menu continues to showcase Zuma’s most iconic dishes, from freshly prepared sushi and sashimi to signature robata plates. Guests can expect the same precision, energy and quality that define Zuma globally, reimagined within a more relaxed, destination-led format.
With its extended season, Zuma Ras Al Khaimah further establishes itself as a key part of the UAE’s evolving culinary and hospitality landscape, offering a compelling reason to venture beyond the city. Whether as part of a weekend staycation or a dedicated dining escape, the experience continues to draw those seeking something both familiar and entirely new.
