Burj Al Arab

An amazing place for dinner, really the most amazing experience...either in the ballroom that is remiscent of the Titanic, or in one of the private rooms, but please don't expect it to be cheap.. Menu prices start at about Dhs 650 and the drinks are equally as dear, and at the present time they have brought in a nice little facility charge as well, but that will hopefully disappear again with the next management change!

It is quite simply the definition of the term Gala Dinner... the food here is brilliant the chefs and the Director of Banquets are some of the most creative people that the city has.. and as for themeing, well you simply don't need it.

The problem that we used to have was that programmes would be constructed with the Arabic night generally on either the second or third day of the programme it was supposed to be the "nearly peaking" dinner.. the gala dinner the next night was supposed to be the winning night.

Sadly it never worked like that, the Arabic night nearly always blew the Gala dinner in terms of "what was your favorite moment?" Now however we have something to rival it.

There's not really much else to say about this except that if you want to finish your programme in style.. this fits.
