Dubai is a city packed with a hundred skyscrapers and striking architectural marvels, but in an area known as Wafi, the pyramid-shaped Raffles Dubai stands out amongst the bold buildings of the city. The Egyptian-themed hotel fuses Asian flair with Egyptian aesthetic both inside and out. Conveniently located in the heart of the city and close to the major shopping, cultural, and business districts, this stunning hotel is sure to attract many travelers looking to stay in one of Dubai’s most striking hotels.

The grand pyramid structure stands out in the sea of smaller buildings. Walking into the lobby, guests will be struck by the splendour of the architecture, oblique walls, and waterfalls designed in a way to resemble a Pharoah’s tomb. A Middle Eastern aura floods the gargantuan space, it’s filled with tall granite pillars engraved in Egyptian hieroglyphics and mosaics as well as sculptures and carvings to create a décor worthy of the Ramses himself.

All that shopping and walking around can sure lead to a rumbling stomach, it’s time to eat and one might dare say that the gastronomic delights are fit for a king (or a Pharoah in this case). The dining experience at the Raffles Dubai is next level with an exciting range of seven onsite restaurants and bars offering an assortment of award-winning dining and entertainment options.

And let’s not forget next door’s Wafi Mall boasts an extensive selection of restaurants, leaving guests spoilt for choice. The hotel’s all-day dining restaurant Azur, which overlooks the lavish Raffles Garden on the third floor, features a broad variety of Asian and Pan-Arabic dishes. Guests can choose from a delicious selection of starters, main courses and desserts and the live cooking stations. The adjacent outside terrace allows for al fresco dining so that guests can enjoy their meals whilst taking in the views of the botanical gardens.
