It’s an Arabian delight. A culinary journey with exotic stops at Egypt, Persia and Palestine as well as Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. A trip everyone can enjoy in this city without having to hop on a plane or a magic carpet. Jasmine is taking her delights to Mohammed.
The single stop to the exotic Middle Eastern spread is at the Café Marco of Marco Polo hotel. It’s time to immerse in the intense flavors of Arabian Nights. It’s a festival of gastronomic delights nightly from May 23 to June 16, 2010.
Fabulous spread, and you get to meet Jasmine as well.
