The Dolder Grand Curates Summer Experiences for Arab Travellers

Zurich has always been a favourite summer destination for Arab travellers for numerous reasons. Apart from the temperate weather and fresh breezes, the cosmopolitan city combines the glory of urban life with the unspoiled of the countryside. Situated on the edge of the Adlisberg forest and overlooking Lake Zurich, the Dolder Grand embraces the downtown and scenery spirit; and this city landmark has prepared multiple summer activities that cater to Arab travellers’ tastes and preferences.
 
Oriental Hideaway 
Starting from the 16th of August, a summer Oriental Hideaway pop up restaurant will offer a spread of exotic Arabic delicacies for all Middle Eastern food lovers. The dreamy ambience of the place stems from the Arabian-inspired decorations, such as luminous lanterns in different colours, oriental carpets embroidered with brown threads inspired by the colour of cinnamon, and comfortable sofas made of bamboo wood. The authentic flavours and Arabic music will immerse guests in the sense of a ‘thousand and one Arabian nights‘ while surrounded by the green mountains and picturesque nature of Zurich. Guests can choose their favourite dishes from the Asly menu created by Oriental Chef de Cuisine, Firas El-Borji

Perfect for Arab spa aficionados, the 43,000 sq ft Spa at the Dolder Grand has a designated ladies’ area, which offers complete privacy and comfort for more conservative women looking to relax and unwind freely and without any restrictions.
