BREAKING NEWS.. The Iftar at El Nafoura Has Redefined Dining Forever

Reports from The Address Montgomerie confirm that something extraordinary is happening at El Nafoura. Guests are emerging from Iftar not just full, but fundamentally changed. Some say they’ve had an out-of-body experience. Others just sit in silence, staring at their empty plates, wondering how they got here.

The Experience:

You arrive with good intentions. You tell yourself you’ll take it slow. The lanterns flicker, the lake shimmers, and the air carries the scent of freshly grilled meats and warm bread. You are being welcomed into something greater than yourself.

Stage One: Denial
You start with a small plate. Just some dates, a bit of soup. Maybe a salad, because you are, after all, a person of restraint.

Stage Two: The Fall
A chef hands you a piece of freshly baked manakish, and suddenly, you’re at the shawarma station. You hear the crackle of the grill. The falafel is golden and crisp. A platter of lamb ouzi arrives, the meat so tender it parts under the weight of your gaze. You have lost control.

Stage Three: The Point of No Return
Desserts appear. Kunafa, dripping with syrup. Umm Ali, warm and rich. A tray of baklava, impossibly flaky. You are no longer eating because you are hungry. You are eating because something deep within you demands it.

Stage Four: Reflection
You sit back, staring at the lantern-lit sky. Around you, others are doing the same, nodding in mutual understanding. You have been part of something remarkable. The meal is over, but you will carry this night with you forever.

El Nafoura is not just an Iftar. It is a journey. It is an awakening. It is proof that some experiences cannot be explained—only lived.
