The afternoon tea at Highest View Lounge (in the world’s tallest hotel, no less) is an upmarket affair. The stylish vantage point at the top of the Gevora Hotel provides 360-degree views over Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown Dubai and far across the horizon. When you’re perched 280m above the ground, it really brings a new meaning to the concept of “high tea”.

Book a table here for a special occasion or head over to marvel at the city's spectacular skyline with delicious food on the side. This Instagram-worthy spot promises unrivalled vistas of the Burj Khalifa, so every visit feels like a celebration.

Dainty sandwiches, creative pastries, scones and all the usual high tea suspects are on the menu, and the sky-high experience adds to the experience. Dinner here is a delight too. Start with fresh salads and comforting soup then move on to the mains where you can find plenty of seafood and steak options cooked to perfection on their lava stone grill.

Dessert fans won't be disappointed with the choices on offer. Our favourite – the flourless espresso cake – comes topped with pistachio cream and fresh raspberries.
