3.  The Tent Jumeirah 

Are you thirsty and hungry after being exposed to the high heat all day long? Go to The Tent Jumeirah. This is one of the very few restaurants on the beach where you can liberate your feet on the sand while enjoying the local food, great vibe, and an amazing view of Burj Khalifa! Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, come with your friends, family and lover!

4.  Fish restaurant 

Nothing is impossible in Dubai. The Fish Restaurant sitting directly on the beach promises its guests a portal to Greece. You will find yourself transported to Santorini, enjoying outdoor tables, feasting on fresh seafood, with a stunning view down on the Palm! Make sure to reserve in advance as it is often fully booked.

5. Pai Thai

Here is another portal to Asia: Pai Thai! To reach this restaurant, you will have to take an Abra (boat) from the entrance of the hotel. After the mysterious complex waterway, be ready for their stunning Thai decor! As for our menu recommendation:  go for their Degustation menu with 7 dishes and wine pairing (and save space for dessert!).

6. Maru Udon 

Do you feel like having authentic Japanese cuisine in Dubai? Head to Maru Udon in Business Bay, a tiny restaurant overlooking the Dubai Creek. You will find a passionate team and their freshly made, 100% Halal udon. They also have ramen and vegan options. It is definitely a tasty address that takes you to Japan!

7. The Lost Chamber Aquarium 

Your dream has come true: a Yoga session in an aquarium does exist. Atlantis created a sanctum for the yogis, or anyone on the request to ultimate relaxation with marine creatures. You can even head to their outdoor bar for a cup of tea or coffee after the session.

Julie’s secret spot: take Exit 110 on E311 road (highway), from sunrise to sunset, you have a 99% chance to bump into Camels on your way! These beautiful creatures are very friendly, and you can stop to take photos and feed them.
