We are sure that you have heard a lot about the iconic Burj Al Arab. The establishment, which is known to be the world’s only true 7-star hotel, is famous for providing world class service to its patrons and tour guests alike. The Burj Al Arab, which was conceived by the minds of hotels and HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Architect Tom Wright and designer Khuan Chew, opened its doors to the elite travellers of the globe in 1999. We bet that you know these basic facts already.

But, what you perhaps know very little about is the one of the three award-winning restaurants which makes the Burj Al Arab living experience worth it. The name of the restaurant, as you might have guessed from the title already, is the UMA lounge. This article will tell you everything you need to know about it. Read on to know more.

The UMA lounge is essentially an outdoor cafe that is located at the base of Burj Al Arab. This multiple accolade-winning outdoor lounge in Dubai will grant you access to the clear view of the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai Marina. In the UMA lounge, whose interior design is deserving of several awards alone, you can feast your stomach on the choicest snacks of your liking along with your pick from a vast array of exotic champagnes, hand-crafted cocktails and probably the most premium cigar range in the world. Note that your eating and beverage options will differ based on the time of day you check yourself in.

The icing on the cake is the fact that all that we have mentioned thus far will be served to you on a tablet-laced table that is pre-loaded with almost all kinds of animation effects. The attached tablet is supposed to be used by you to order the dish/cigar or cocktail of your choice. If you thought that your experience at the UMA lounge couldn’t get any better, you can enjoy everything you eat, drink or smoke under the Arabian night sky’s watchful gaze.

Long story short, when you are dining at this Burj Al Arab-based lounge, you will feel like royalty or like an affluent movie character in a high-budget cinematic masterpiece, thanks to the fact that every corner of the UMA lounge is worthy of an Instagram post.

If you are wondering how you can dine at the UMA lounge, you can do it in one of the two ways. The first option is to make a booking in the capacity of a guest. Although you will also get to stay in one of its stunning well-known suites as a guest, checking in as one is a costly affair as it will set you back by a few thousand dollars. Another pocket-friendly option is booking an Inside Burj Al Arab tour ahead of your visit to Dubai. But, while doing so, you will have to make sure that you go for the package that comes with an in-package delicacy/beverage at Burj Al Arab and grants you access to it.

Inside Burj Al Arab tour packages that come with access to the UMA lounge start at AED 349, or just a little above $150. You can learn more about the package and the cancellation policy on the official website of Burj Al Arab.
