Eponymously named Paddock Café, the daytime eatery is located in the heart of the Ritz-Carlton Equestrian Centre with impressive panoramic views across the paddocks and training arena. The protected lands are home to the resort’s resident Arabian horses, ponies and wildlife, including the UAE’s national animal, the rare oryx and Arabian Sand Gazelle that roam freely without a care in the world.

The Paddock Café is ideal for those who enjoy nature and a sense of tranquillity. The casual eatery serves an array of delicious, freshly made light bites, including homemade wraps and cakes, indulgent milkshakes and health-boosting smoothies. Paddock café has impressive views across the arena. It is perfect for watching your family and friends learn to ride or for a pit stop after a lesson.

The oryx is a medium-sized desert antelope, also known as W’Dhehi. It’s primarily white and has dark triangular facial features and leg markings. Their impressive long, straight horns make them easily identifiable. Al Wadi Equestrian Centre is not only home to horses, oryx and camels but also a fragile ecosystem home to desert vegetation, flowers and trees. The spiny-tailed lizard, rodents, small mammals, foxes, owls and wild cats also find their place in the natural, protected area.
