With its panoramic views of Dubai Marina, the Arabian Gulf, and out over the far desert horizon, this lofty watering hole (set on the 52nd floor) is a favourite with locals, visitors and expats alike.

Its super-stylish bar is buzzing every night of the week, while the restaurant serves mean meaty grills, veggie nachos, and tasty tapas-style light bites to share. Book your table early for the best views.
