The Roof top
A complete classic on the Dubai social scene, the rooftop bar at the Royal Mirage has become a de rigueur place to take visiting family and friends, or for a chilled night under the stars once the cooler weather rolls in.
Eschewing the elevator for a trip up the narrow Souk-esque staircase brings you out into a stunning traditional Arabic setting, where the cocktails are the stars to be sipped under the glittering moonlight.
Sink onto a cushion along one of the sociable seating areas and peruse the seemingly inexhaustible cocktail menu, adding a selection of Oriental mezzeh bites to your order. With majlis-style seating in the corners of the rooftop available for reservation for groups of 10, it is the perfect way to end an evening, or celebrate a big occasion in chilled out style.
