The House

A slower kind of afternoon, in the heart of old Dubai.

Sandstone walls, blue-and-white benches and cascading bougainvillea set the scene at Arabian Tea House — a laid-back venue in Jumeirah loved for its local cuisine and tea.

Come for a pot of tea and a long conversation, or settle in for a generous table to share. It's the kind of place Dubai keeps returning to — quietly, and often.

Our Setting

Where Dubai slows down.

In a city that never quite stops, Arabian Tea House keeps a gentler rhythm. Set among the sandstone and wind towers of old Jumeirah, its courtyard is shaded by latticed palm-frond roofing and curtains of bougainvillea.

White wicker chairs, blue wooden benches and floral porcelain give the place its unmistakable, lived-in charm — a corner of heritage Dubai that feels worlds away from the towers, yet sits right at the city's historic heart.
