Private jet menu for Shaybah

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Shaybah departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenSaudi Arabia

Hot main
Saffron-Spiced Lamb Kofta Board
Hand-rolled lamb kofta with Gulf-spiced seasoning, served alongside a tahini dip, pickled cucumber, and warm flatbread — a regional centrepiece suited to long-haul departures.
To start
Arabian Mezze Selection
A composed cold board of hummus, mutabbal, tabbouleh, stuffed vine leaves, and marinated olives — clean, shareable, and appropriate for both passengers and working crew.
Hot main
Slow-Cooked Chicken Machboos
A Gulf-style braised chicken over fragrant basmati rice with dried lime and rose water — prepared and sealed hot, ready to serve directly from the galley.
Pâtisserie
Date and Cardamom Cake
A dense, lightly sweetened loaf made with Medjool dates and ground cardamom — individually portioned, travels well, and references the region's most iconic ingredient.
Morning
Labneh and Za'atar Morning Plate
Strained labneh drizzled with olive oil and za'atar, accompanied by cherry tomatoes, cucumber batons, and toasted sesame bread — a light and energising start to an early departure.
Cold main
Chilled Spiced Lentil Salad
Green lentils dressed with cumin-spiced vinaigrette, roasted red peppers, and fresh coriander — high in protein, robust enough to travel, and satisfying on a long leg.

Private jet catering in Shaybah

Shaybah sits deep within the Rub' al Khali, one of the most isolated industrial hubs on earth, serving the surrounding oil and gas infrastructure. Flights here are purposeful and often time-critical, which means catering cannot be an afterthought — it must arrive correctly prepared, correctly packaged, and on schedule regardless of the location's remoteness. Because the airfield sits well beyond the reach of any city centre, we plan supply chains carefully, coordinating with ground logistics from the nearest viable provisioning points. Abu Dhabi — reachable via OMSJ-area suppliers — sits within roughly 220 kilometres, offering a credible route for premium ingredients on shorter notice. For longer lead orders, we draw on our network extending to Hofuf and Ad Dammam to bring in the provisions your principals and crew expect.

Regional Catering Menu · Shaybah

Shaybah inflight catering

Desert-region itineraries often call for clean, high-protein menus that sustain without weighing down — grilled meats, slow-cooked legume dishes, cold mezze boards, and herb-forward salads all travel well and reflect the broader Gulf culinary tradition. We build menus that respect the region, using ingredients sourced as close to point of origin as logistics allow. Dietary requirements are handled with the same rigour as any metropolitan departure. Halal provisions are standard for all Shaybah orders. Kosher meals require a minimum 24-hour lead time and are coordinated through certified suppliers in our network. We maintain a single point of contact for every order, so special requirements never fall between teams.
