Majlis Cafe

Dubai


Secreted on the grounds of the fairy-tale Jumeirah Mosque, this comfy-luxe lair lets you sink into white couches for a camelccino (cappuccino with camel milk) paired with Emirati sweets, ice cream or savoury finger food.

Although the mosque itself is only open to non-Muslims on tours run by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, the cafe welcomes everyone at all times.
