While my first chance at paragliding in Nepal last year didn’t go so well (I felt incredibly sick the entire time — oops!), the feeling wasn’t enough to put me off from trying out Dinner in the Sky UAE<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0The concept is relatively simple: strap into a floating restaurant and go up 50m to enjoy lunch, tea, or dinner. \u00a0As I said when we went up, in a city of one of a kind experiences, Dinner in the Sky really is\u00a0one of a kind. \u00a0‘Flights’ are available daily from 2:40 PM until 11:10 PM on weekdays and from 11:50 AM until 12:35 AM on weekends. \u00a0Interested guests can book their seats today through an online booking system, but I would imagine seats are going to be limited at this point.<\/p>\n

The price tag on this one is well up there — which I guess goes to supporting the number of people it takes to get this show off the ground (pun intended). \u00a0Starting at AED700 for lunch and AED800 for dinner (per person! Not including booze! \u00a0For under an hour!), I’m not sure the amount spent lives up to the hype. \u00a0For AED1600 there are a number of hotel stays I would check out with Hubs instead (including a trip back to Banyan Tree<\/a>). \u00a0However, if I tell my inner pessimist to quiet down, I imagine Dinner in the Sky would be a memorable place for an anniversary or birthday (skip the engagement or proposals folks, you could easily lose the ring from up top). \u00a0Be aware, that if you’re going for the food, you’re going to be disappointed, and should really look at the event as an experience, with a bit of a snack while you’re up floating around the Marina.<\/p>\n
