Dubai cafes and lounges

The ice café

Sub-zero temperatures in Dubai? Actually, that is exactly what you will encounter in the ice café nestled within the Times Square Mall of Dubai. Technically, the people behind the Chillout café call their establishment an ice lounge where customers can belly up to a bar carved out of sheer ice; eat food from ice plates and consume water from ice glasses; and sit on chairs and benches also carved out of ice. This is definitely not one of your run-of-the-mill Dubai cafes and lounges.

Chillout

The people behind this ice lounge Chillout had to secure Dh9 million to create their stunning example of unique Dubai cafes and lounges. Ice lounges like Chillout are nothing new though since there have been other ice lounges set up around the world already. But to place an ice lounge in a desert climate like Dubai is probably a great feat in itself.
