It’s a sensory journey that celebrates the spirit of Ramadan with every bite, every note of music, and every thoughtful detail.

Crowne Plaza Yas Island unveils Al Noor, an exquisite Iftar experience where tradition, sustainability and genuine hospitality come together in perfect harmony. Inspired by the meaning of Al Noor “ray of light” – the hotel invites you to enjoy an evening that not only reflects authenticity and warmth but also celebrates sustainable practices, creating a meaningful and eco-conscious dining experience.
The Buzz
You know that feeling when you walk into a place and instantly feel like you belong? That’s Al Noor. The name itself means light, and that’s exactly what this Iftar experience brings—warmth, generosity, and a glowing atmosphere where every table feels like a family gathering. From intimate catch-ups to grand celebrations, this is the kind of place where stories are shared, laughter flows, and plates are always full.

The Food
And speaking of plates, let’s talk food! The buffet at Al Noor is a carefully curated celebration of traditional Ramadan dishes, live cooking stations, and refreshing beverages to keep you energized for the night ahead.
Think slow-cooked lamb that melts in your mouth, vibrant mezze that could make a grown adult tear up with joy, and decadent Arabic sweets that might just require a second (or third) helping.

The Ambiance
Now, imagine this: You’ve just broken your fast, enjoyed a satisfying meal, and then—cue the soft, mesmerizing sounds of a live qanun performance. This isn’t just dinner; it’s an experience that soothes the soul. Whether you’re sipping on a post-Iftar Arabic coffee or simply soaking in the moment, the gentle strumming of this traditional instrument adds a layer of magic to an already unforgettable evening.
The Details
Here’s the cherry on top—Al Noor isn’t just about indulgence; it’s about making a difference. With locally sourced ingredients from Silal, Liwa Dates, and Al Ain Dairy, you’re not just getting authentic flavors—you’re also supporting regional farmers and sustainable practices. And because giving back is a big part of Ramadan, any surplus food is donated through NE’MA’s food rescue program. Even the takeout meals come in biodegradable packaging because yes, being kind to the planet is always in style.

So, if you’re ready to embrace the spirit of Ramadan with great food, great company, and a side of heartfelt hospitality, Al Noor at Crowne Plaza Yas Island is calling your name. Whether it’s a quiet evening with loved ones or a lively feast with friends, this is one Iftar experience you won’t want to miss.
