Our Story
Unified Essence of Arabian Hospitality
Arabian Hospitality unites these three pillars into an immersive Emirati journey—combining flavorful seafood, heritage lodging, and serene tea rituals into a single brand experience. Led by the AlRais family, this hospitality suite is designed to preserve and celebrate local traditions, while delivering personalized service and thoughtful design at each touchpoint.
Our Story
Arabian Hospitality began with a vision to showcase the soul of Emirati culture. In the 1990s, Mr. Ali Alrais noticed the lack of authentic Emirati cuisine and hospitality globally. With his wife, Ms. Rania Saied, and their family, he opened Arabian Tea House in 1997, nestled in Dubai’s historic Al Fahidi district. It quickly became a haven for those seeking true Emirati flavors and traditions. Building on its success, they launched Arabian Fish House—celebrating coastal heritage—and the Arabian Boutique Hotel, the UAE’s first Emirati boutique stay. Today, Arabian Hospitality proudly continues to offer rich, authentic cultural experiences to the world.

Where It All Began
In the heart of Old Dubai, a quiet courtyard under the bougainvillea became more than just a tea house—it became a symbol of what Emirati hospitality truly means. The first Arabian Tea House was built to preserve tradition, slow time, and serve as a sanctuary for stories shared over Karak and Khameer.
