Night Lights of Dubai

The Arabian Desert is hot and blinding by day. At night, when people dare to exit their air conditioned refuges, golden lights are the key to creating inviting spaces for socializing and dining.   

In Dubai, where each new property tries to be more innovative and luxurious than the last,  lighting is key to staying competitive.

Below are some of my favorites: 


Swarovsky Crystal -  Sheikh Zayad Mosque
Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque

Ottoman Lighting - Zabeel Saray Hotel
Voda Bar - Zabeel Saray Hotel
Terrace Lights - Zabeel Saray Hotel

Lalezar Anatolian Restaurant - Zabeel Saray Hotel

Hammam - Zabeel Saray Hotel

Entrance - Jumeirah Madinat Hotel

  1. What does the inscription say circled above the Sheikh Zayad chandelier (top right)? Is it something about Allah? Just curious... It is my favorite!! So ornate and tranquil. Reminds me of the German town Oberammergau that we visited 17 years ago, only less humble :) What a great blog Chris!
