Chef Akrame Benallal led the bespoke tasting menu, merging French technique with Saudi flavors such as sumac and black lemon. Guests savored Prunier caviar and Christofle tableware, blending Parisian elegance with the raw beauty of the desert.
More than 30 invitees attended, including international tastemakers and creators Nabilla and Thomas Vergara, Lufy, and Cindy Miranda.
Thomas Combescot-Lepere, general manager of Desert Rock, The Red Sea, said: “Desert Rock embodies a new language of Saudi luxury — deeply rooted in place and defined by its warm hospitality.
“Hosting the Caviar Club here reflects our ambition to create culture-shaping experiences that complement our one-of-a-kind resort.”
Benallal said: “The first time I came to Saudi was 10 years ago, and I felt a country and its people on the cusp of a magnificent transformation. Here I am, 10 years later, in this unbelievable setting at Desert Rock. I served a dinner inspired by the aesthetic of the land, composed in six acts and grounded in Saudi ingredients to tell a story through taste.”
Opened in 2025, Desert Rock stands as a wellness-led retreat emphasizing privacy, calm, and minimal environmental footprint.
