Tea Party at Burj Al Arab





























Today Savannah, mom and I went to Afternoon Tea at Sahn Eddar inside the Burj Al Arab. The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel, often being called the world's only 7-star hotel. It is the 4th largest hotel in the world and stands on its own artificial island. To access the hotel you have to pass through several security gates (and have overnight reservations or reservations in one of their restaurants). There is also a private bridge that takes you out to the hotel from Jumeriah Beach. The hotel is considered an iconic structure in Dubai and resembles the shape of a sail.

Tea started with a glass of champagne and continued with your choice of tea and seven courses of finger foods. The first course was berries and cream followed by finger sandwiches, salmon, scones, sorbet, French pasteries and followed up with chocolates and petit fours. The food and tea were well worth it. The restaurant staff even gave Savannah a rose. (Another bonus: Savannah was awesome!) Afternoon tea was a delightful way to see the inside of the hotel and spend the afternoon with Savannah and my mom.
