Al Habtoor Polo Resort is giving guests a fresh way to gather, dine, and beat the heat with the arrival of its new Summer Tent at Horse & Hound. Spacious, fully air-conditioned, and pet-friendly, the tent adds a lively seasonal dimension to the resort’s beloved Horse & Hound, with weekly entertainment, live sport, generous dining offers, and family-friendly experiences creating plenty of room for long leisurely afternoons and spirited evenings with friends.
The Summer Tent
Now open at Al Habtoor Polo Resort, the Summer Tent is set to become a go-to gathering place throughout the season. Ideal for catching up with colleagues after work, memorable meals with family, romantic evenings for two, and nights out with friends, the venue combines a relaxed atmosphere with a packed calendar of weekly events. Alongside its incredible schedule, almost every night features a live singer, creating a vibrant, feel-good atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.
For sports enthusiasts, giant screens keep all the action front and centre, broadcasting the World Cup and other major sporting events throughout the summer. Between meals, matches, or rounds of drinks, guests can also enjoy some friendly competition with a game of darts, while families are well catered for with a dedicated kids’ area that keeps younger guests entertained. Four-legged companions are welcome too, making it one of the few places in the city where the whole family, pets included, can enjoy the season together.
Extending the Horse & Hound experience, the Summer Tent serves the signature favourites alongside a host of new additions. Guests can tuck into dishes such as crispy halloumi fries, tableside beef tartare, pan-seared sea bass, tuna panzanella salad, and Alsatian-style flammekueche pizza, with plenty more joining the menu this season. Meanwhile, staples like stone-baked pizzas made with fresh dough and burgers crafted with chef-made patties remain firmly on the menu, staying true to the fresh, homemade food that guests have come to know and love.
