Tips For Your Visit

We really enjoyed our Festive Afternoon Tea and decorating our Nut-Cracker cookie over the 2 hours that we were there. We ended up taking our extra Gingerbread House home to decorate on Christmas Eve.
On the day of your Festive Afternoon Tea, there are some delicious Christmas cakes and pastries to purchase for gifts at Majlis Lobby Lounge.
We thought that their Cinnamon Star Cookies looked pretty amazing, which cost AED65 for 250g, AED110 for 500g and AED150 for 1kg.
You can also purchase Christmas products from their ‘Festive Bake Sale’ table, including their Christmas Cookies for AED60, Christmas Cake for AED120, a White Chocolate Snow Man for AED100 and a Traditional Yule Log for AED120.
After your Festive Afternoon Tea experience, you can walk to the annual Winter Wonderland with free entry along the promenade on Al Maryah Island, which opens between 4:30pm – 10:30pm daily until the 23rd December 2021.
What To Expect
The food at this Festive Afternoon Tea is served inside a chest of drawers, with 3 drawers opening to reveal some delicious savory food and sweet desserts.
Inside the bottom draw, you will find various savory items to enjoy.
Inside the middle drawer, you will discover some delicious Christmas-themed desserts.
Finally, inside the top drawer, you will find some star-shaped scones with cream, 2 different types of jams and some yummy chocolate truffles.
We thought that the scones, blue-cheese tart and chocolate truffles were the highlight of our Festive Afternoon Tea set.

We’re fortunate in the UAE, that so many hotels offer Festive Afternoon Tea at Christmas time, however the Festive Afternoon Tea at Rosewood Abu Dhabi is served in a unique drawer set.
It’s also unique to have a Winter Wonderland experience within walking distance, for you and your family to enjoy straight after your Festive Afternoon Tea.
