The festival includes an array of pomegranate-themed delights from special room rates to culinary creations and spa experiences that highlight the fruit’s abundant growth in the region. Rummana, meaning pomegranate in Arabic, is a dynamic celebration that features the esteemed fruit of Al Jabal Al Akhdar.
The festival includes a variety of activities such as interactive workshops, artistic displays, and engaging activities for children. Until September 28, 2024, guests are invited to embrace the Rummana Escape package, which allows them to delve deep into the history of a region where pomegranates, along with roses and apricots, have thrived for centuries. The package starts at $416 and includes a stay in luxury accommodations with breathtaking views of the canyon, a delicious breakfast buffet for two, and two tickets to the Rummana experience complete with round-trip shuttle service.
Guests can also enjoy the Revitalizing Pomegranate Journey at the Anantara Spa after attending the festival. This spa treatment uses pomegranates to rejuvenate the skin, featuring a floral foot ritual and a signature Anantara massage, available throughout the year. Starting August 1, 2024, the Bella Vista restaurant will serve a special three-course menu that encapsulates the rich flavors of pomegranate, perfect for guests looking to savor the essence of the season.
“With Rummana in its second season, we invite guests to immerse themselves in what the mountain has to offer during this magical time of year. We welcome guests to Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort to fully experience our local superfruit and an unforgettable celebration in its honor” remarks Maren Kuehl, General Manager of Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort .
