The Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai offers an underwater themed restaurant, rated one of the 50 best restaurants in the world, beginning with a mock submarine ride. The experience begins with a mock submarine ride, and includes a chic environment, with tables placed around a giant glass aquarium, and a tasting menu in the evening ("à la carte" for lunch). The prices match the décor, and an elegant dress code and booking are required. However, since Dubai is turning into a Manhattan of the Gulf, it is also spectacular to have dinner in the sky, on the top floors of the new towers, overlooking the Palm Islands.
