Is This the Best Hotel in Dubai to Explore the City? My Stay at Rose Rayhaan Rotana

I spent a weekend at Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, one of Dubai’s most strategically located hotel stays right at the center of the action on Sheikh Zayed Road. A city escape might pose to be a strange option for a city dweller, but this four-star property proved to be just the short break we needed to rediscover Dubai from a brand new vantage point.

If you are visiting Dubai and wondering where to stay, especially if you want easy access to the city’s main attractions, business districts, and transport links, Rose Rayhaan by Rotana deserves serious consideration.

Post a very pampering session at Saray Spa on the 7th floor, it only seemed apt that I treat myself to a vegan lunch and give the brand-new menu a try.

When it comes to an authentic Pakistani meal, Barbeque Delights always comes up as a family restaurant I’d recommend. I’ve dined at their Downtown Dubai branch a number of times and was recently invited to visit their newest branch at The Walk, JBR.

It was a lazy Friday afternoon, and armed with two girlfriends and two kiddies in tow, we ordered an entire table-full of divinely delicious delicacies.

Taking inspiration from the beauty of Islamic art and calligraphy, the beautiful interiors of Bab Al Mansour transports its diners to an exotic palatial setting in faraway Morocco.

Located on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard in downtown Dubai, opposite the Dubai Opera, the restaurant specializes in both Moroccan and Turkish cuisines and all the ingredients used are sourced from organic-certified farms of Morocco.

We stepped into the gilded doors of Bab Al Mansour a few weeks back, and were greeted by a young man in a deep blue ethnic robe with a warm smile and hot cups of sweet Moroccan tea.
