Cost of shisha: AED 90 – AED 165 (excluding VAT)
Location: Address Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai
2. Buhayra Lounge
Vibes: Sitting in the shadow of Burj Khalifa, the Palace Downtown boast views that can’t be matched. This extends to Buhayra Lounge, an open-air poolside escape that features Arabesque tents, cool cocktails and an intimate atmosphere. The menu even has a special ‘Palace Shisha’ that will run you a whopping AED 175 (… we hear it’s amazinggg.)
Cost of shisha: AED 90 – AED 165 (excluding VAT)
Location: The Palace Downtown Dubai
3. Abd El Wahab
Vibes: The name Abd El Wahab always conjures up the delicious flavours of the Levant, and shisha nights here always feel authentically Middle Eastern. The menu features some of our favourite Arabic selections in Downtown, so be sure to request a table closest to the Dubai Fountain.

4. Leila
