in United Arab Emirates

This glimmering, towering city emerges from the midst of an expansive and dusty dessert, and what a city it is! Though its population and offerings have blossomed in the past 20 years, there is basically nothing you can't do in this gem of the desert.

Jumeirah lunch dinner activity

drinks

The iconic jungle chic decorated establishment- African Queen is a favourite luxurious escape for locals looking to dine by the sea and relax in the pool after dessert. African Queen is a unique oasis amidst Dubai's buzz. It combines the restaurant area, which serves Mediterranean flavours with exotic influences from all over the world, with the stunning shore of the Arabian Gulf, steps away from the pool. This place is the perfect go-to for daytime relaxation and fancy late-night dinners.
