More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a bright kitchen at Carole's Place Cafe and the room fills with the smell of roasted nuts, melting chocolate and a whisper of cardamom. A small group gathers around a stainless-steel island; bowls of Medjool dates, pistachios and glossy dark chocolate are laid out like ingredients for a small ceremony. In sixty minutes you press a nut-and-date base, pour molten chocolate and learn the tiny regional touches — rosewater, tahini, a dusting of crushed pistachio — that push a simple bar into Dubai-style decadence.
