Finz

posted by DVC_Chris on 27 August 2009 at 00:38

Dubai has many amazing restaurants, and I find it odd that one of my favorites, Finz, is located right in the middle of a shopping mall. However, don’t let the location fool you, it is an amazing culinary experience, offering the best of Mediterranean cuisine, and although expensive, it is worth the occasional splurge.

Spectrum On One

Amazing Indian Cuisine! This place has the most mouthwatering Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely beautiful décor as well, and you will never get bored just people watching. I stopped by this place on a whim, and found the diamond in the rough. Friendly staff, beautiful space, and again, amazing food! This is the place to be.

Irish Village

posted by jaeff on 24 August 2009 at 21:54

Located in the Al Garhoud neighbor, along the banks of the Dubai River, this grouping of pubs and restaurants offer solace to the weary Western traveler. Thursdays and Fridays are the busy nights and usually offer live music in the courtyard. Ten minutes from the airport by taxi and you'll be enjoying a cold beer or fish and chips at the Irish Village.

The Dubai Municipality Museum’s construction was started in late 50’s. Till 1964 it was the headquarters of Dubai Municipality. Later the Municipality office was moved to another building. As the building was having importance in the Municipality history as well as its location amidst the commercial market near the bay (Dubai Creek) it was turned into Museum in 2006. It opened up its halls & exihibits the documents which tells the history of the period during which the Municipality was established. The Museum remains closed on every Friday.
