Speaking about this pop-up experience, owner Ahmad Abdulla Alketbi said,
“The project has been immensely successful. People from across Dubai seem to know about it even though we’ve only been open for a month. We wanted to create something new for people who want to enjoy this weather and the beautiful UAE desert. Especially with the coronavirus, people want to go somewhere that is open, where social distancing is easily possible.”
