The café draws inspiration from the Kingdom.
If you’re a fan of Saudi Arabia, Café Tawiq has some exciting news: the café has opened its doors in Umm Al Quwain, bringing a taste of the Kingdom to the UAE. Café Tawiq draws inspiration from Saudi Arabia, creating an authentic atmosphere that immerses visitors in the country’s culture. If you’d like to put a new café on your radar, here’s what you need to know.
The interior aims to create an authentic look from Saudi Arabia. Guests are greeted by statues of locals in traditional dress, playing instruments, and camels resting outside. Rich carpets adorn the ceilings, while an old gramophone in the corner adds a touch of nostalgia.
When you enter, you pass through bright red doors, and windows provide a striking contrast. Grey walls and flooring are punctuated with potted plants, creating a calm yet vibrant space. Plus, a photo of a UAE leader adds a contemporary local touch, which blends together culture and heritage.
Guests can choose from both indoor and outdoor seating at Café Tawiq. One of the café’s cute features is a cosy tent decorated with traditional carpets and low seating near the floor. The atmosphere evokes a sense of Saudi gatherings, while desserts in vivid Saudi green add a playful pop of colour. Expect a mix of traditional hot drinks and sweet treats.
Café Tawiq is ideal for a relaxed catch-up with friends or a leisurely afternoon enjoying the décor. Check in with FACT for the best things to do in the UAE.
