6. Samarra - Wadirum Rooftop (blog)

When you have lived in Jakarta long enough, you would agree that for many years, the city was void of an Indonesian place-to-be, a chic place to see and be seen, to explore the delicacies of the archipelago, to travel back to the exotic eras of Indonesia’s colourful history and savour great international wines all under one roof.

The soon-to-be household name is Wadirum Rooftop, the new refurnished open-air wine and sangria terrace on the third floor of Samarra Restaurant & Lounge. Inspired by Wadi Rum, one of the world’s outstanding desert landscapes situated in the friendly and peaceful nation of Jordan, Wadirum Rooftop boasts a truly breathtaking scenery and a chance to experience the desert life and Bedouin culture right in the heart of the metropolitan.

With seating capacity of up to 60 guests and a hip selection of lounge and chill-out music every night, arriving at Wadirum Rooftop is like stepping into a wardrobe full of winter coats leading to Narnia, a much-welcome refuge from Jakarta’s craziness.

A perfect place to hang out with good friends, share a pitcher of sangria, sample the delicate tapas selection and lose yourselves in a world of Arabian-night fantasy adorned with exotic lanterns, sultan’s cushions, the intimate flickering of floating candles and sensual 1001 Nights grooves. Live in a dream, in another era, another world…even if it’s just for a couple of hours.

Reserve a table for your close friends and indulge in a night to remember. Contact Wadirum Rooftop at samarra[at]tuguhotels[dot]com.
