Abu Dhabi: Aysha Al Obeidli, 13, who has been dubbed as UAE’s youngest Emirati chef, will be welcomed by JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa for a unique collaboration with the resort’s Maldivian chef, Aminath Abdul Rasheed. They will present a culinary fare with an ensemble of Arabian and Maldivian flavours on July 1, 2022.

Both chefs will collaborate to craft an Arabian-Maldivian fusion menu that will be available for guests to savour at Aailaa, the resort’s vibrant international cuisine all-day dining venue, between July 2 and July 12, in celebration of Eid Al Adha.
