The Dubai desert is about to get wickedly stylish. Sonara Camp is taking Halloween beyond simple tricks and treats, hosting “Witches of the Dunes,” a spectacular two-night event on October 31 and November 1. This isn’t just another party; it’s an immersive desert celebration that merges high-end gastronomy, electrifying performances, and family-friendly magic, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.
Sonara Camp’s brand is built on eco-luxury and creating unforgettable experiences, and this event delivers on both fronts with a Wicked-inspired flair. The evening begins with a whimsical welcome from witches offering sweets and surprises before a peaceful drive through the dunes. As the sun dips, camels join the fun for a playful “trick or treat,” setting a lighthearted tone. For adults, the sunset hour is pure indulgence: signature cocktails, mocktails, and gourmet canapés are served as the desert colors change dramatically. This refined welcome transforms the often-chaotic nature of Halloween into something elegant and serene.
The real heart of the evening is Chef Gregory Khellouf’s themed gourmet menu. It’s a sophisticated take on spooky fare, moving far beyond standard party food.
- Starter: A warm pumpkin cauldron soup and black hummus.
- Main: The premium Angus beef tagliata.
- Dessert: The playfully macabre coffin brownies and ghostly meringues.
The menu is perfectly paired with themed beverages like the “Pick Your Poison” cocktail, all delivered with Sonara’s renowned hospitality and polished style.
As darkness falls, the desert transforms into a captivating open-air theatre. Guests will be treated to a series of dazzling performances, including a Halloween-themed magic show, a vibrant Dia de los Muertos dance, and the iconic energy of Tanoura dancers. The energy truly crackles with a high-octane rendition of Thriller and the dramatic Rituals of Witches show, culminating in Sonara’s signature fire show that illuminates the dunes in a blaze of color.
Crucially, the little ones are not an afterthought. They have their own dedicated area where they can get spooky face painting, enjoy treasure hunts, and fuel up on live food stations serving mini pizzas, burgers, cotton candy, and ice cream with special Halloween toppings. This careful balance of sophisticated adult dining and immersive children’s adventure makes “Witches of the Dunes” the perfect family outing.
This is your invitation to experience Halloween as a spellbinding, eco-luxury celebration that you won’t find anywhere else in Dubai. With limited reservations for both the Sunset and Dinner experiences, you’ll need to secure your spot fast for this exclusive two-night event.
