High Tea at the Burj Dubai Hotel

The Burj Al Arab is the iconic seven star hotel in Dubai . It is situated on an artificial island and is shaped like the sail of a dhow. From the sea the mast looks like a giant cross.

Tea is in the Sky View Bar on the 27th floor—in the “cross”. This was a highlight of our trip - wow! It started with a glass of Moet & Chandon champagne, a platter of sandwiches and cakes (on a tray shaped like the hotel), followed by tea—a choice of tens of different teas or coffees and hot scones, and finished off with a delicious chocolate.
