This is our spot that we have learned to love. The backstory to this hotel bar is that in Dubai, you CANNOT get a drink unless you are within the confines of a hotel or mall. So inherently, we have become mallrats and hotel lounge singer types because we have to. Beers cost about 30 dirhams, which is close to $9 / beer, which is not too unlike Los Angeles pricing. The view is nice, but from this vantage point on the terrace it is still 100/100 as we say; 100 degrees and 100% humidity. My favorite quote is from our Boston librarian saying, "I walked outside and it felt like I was stepping into a hot bowl of soup." That pretty much defines our out-of-school existence, but nonetheless, it has been quite an amazing journey thus far.
