Chillout in Dubai

Remember  Dubai’s snowdome?   Well, it would appear that Dubaians’ love of ice knows no bounds as the city is now also home to an ice lounge called Chillout. Diners will sit on ice benches or chairs, eat at ice tables, off ice plates of course, and  drink from ice glasses served from a bar made of ice. A maximum of 45 people are allowed in, in order to prevent body heat from upsetting the atmosphere. With  the world’s tallest building and largest shopping mall  both on the  cards, its huge  offshore island projects and the re-location of the QE2, a 7-star hotel, a version of the Louvre museum, the largest snowdome in the world and  the  planned theme parks,  you’re kind of left wondering what could be coming to the city next.
