Indulgent afternoon teas to try in Dubai - What's On
Everything’s better with tea and cake…
Afternoon tea is a popular British tradition and was an experience that was meant to fill the long gap between lunch and dinner when it was served as late as 8pm. Now, however, it is just deemed as a treat and there are several spots in Dubai serving it up on a daily basis.
If you fancy an afternoon out with loved ones over a cup or two of tea with delicious sweet and savoury snacks, head on over to these spots below.
