Uncover a secret dining room at 1206
1206 occupies a previously hidden fourth-floor room at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab.

Seasonal ingredients and local farm partnerships guide the kitchen, where fermentation, curing and slow cooking help make full use of produce. A terrace garden supplies herbs, greens and botanicals for dishes and cocktails, while the wine list champions smaller producers and grower Champagnes. Outside, the expansive terrace frames views stretching from Jumeirah Burj Al Arab to Burj Khalifa.
