The 2,400 sqft restaurant has three areas. The lobby and the lounge areas are separated by what is called the Buffer Zone. Once in the lobby, visitors will be given thermal gear to protect themselves from the chilly conditions. It comprises a hooded parka (a heavy jacket), disposable woollen gloves and a pair of shoes.
Visitors are advised to first spend a few minutes in the Buffer Zone to get acclimatised. The temperature in the buffer zone is set at 5 degrees Celsius which gives the body time to adjust to the sharp drop in temperature in the dining area.
It even has an ice gallery showcasing Dubai’s landmarks. Complimenting that is an ice portrait of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Freezing at minus 6 degrees Celsius the dining area is, well, biting cold. "Vikram Singh Barhat"
I like how creative people in the uae are, i mean they took the line snow on the sahra to another level, now its ice on the sahara...
I never ben to dubai, but i would seriously love to go there, especially when i saw these pics in that cafe.
I hope someday in Kuwait i could se places like this, i mean seriously, all i do in kuwait is shop and go to cafes, it would be nice to go to an ice one!
Now there you have it "Chill Out" The ICE Cafe in the middle of the sahara....
