5 restaurants and bars in Dubai that mimic the night sky
Here are 5 restaurants and bars in Dubai offering a Starry Night experience Attiko
Attiko
Attiko brings high rooftop energy at W Dubai – Mina Seyahi with tables under the stars for diners to enjoy. While it's too warm to enjoy the outdoors, indoors you can dine beneath twinkling lights mimicking the night sky. And thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the skyline, you'll really feel like your dining outdoors. To really experience this, visit post sunset.
Location: Attiko, W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, Dubai Marina

@attikodubai Duomo Dubai
Love a stunning digital display? At Duomo at The Dubai Edition, take a seat under a stunning dome, and as you dine, you will be graced with stunning projections. Duomo, in case you're wondering, is Italian for 'cathedral.' The name is reflected in its interiors, which include a 15-meter-high vaulted cathedral-styled arch, a lancet (tall) window, and other Italian designs. The displays range from starry nights to art scenes and more.
Location: The Dubai Edition, Downtown Dubai

@duomodubai Galaxy Bar
You can't have a name like Galaxy Bar and not show off a space-stars-cosmos-themed atmosphere. This ultra-luxury late-night lounge is ranked number 50 in the World's 50 Best Bars and runs on an 'if you know, you know' profile, and it has capacity for only a handful of guests at a time. Which means you have to make a reservation to avoid disappointment.
Location: Gate Village, DIFC
Contact: (050) 513 5908
@galaxybardxb Opso
Located in Dubai Mall, Opso is a space offering three distinct concepts: a café, an intimate dining area, and the large dining hall. Over the winter, diners will reserve a spot on the wraparound terrace where they can enjoy shisha and views of the Dubai Fountains. However, over summer, stay indoors and pick a seat under the starry ceiling, where you can also enjoy the hotel's other celestial elements. The menu sways between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern.
Location: Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai

@opsodubai Zenon Dubai
Zenon
If you love digital art and AI, you'll love Zenon Dubai. It's a space where gastronomy, AI, entertainment, and innovation collide, offering up a unique dining experience. Digital screens surround you as you dine, showcasing majestic AI-generated visuals from stars and the galaxy, but also other elements like Greek mythology and underwater scenes. Other elements you won't be able to miss include the stunning arches, sculptures and high ceilings which come together seamlessly.

Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh?
Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh? Background & Education Having demonstrated a natural flair for aesthetics and creativity at a young age, Daria obtained a degree in Cultural Studies and Design before embarking on her professional career producing cultural and fashion events where she favoured the path of independence and creative freedom. As her passion for creating projects that combine beauty, storytelling and emotional resonance evolved, so did her area of expertise, which eventually led her to the field of furniture and interior design During the global pandemic, Daria founded ARTDOM, a platform and forum concept dedicated to collectible furniture, interiors and contemporary design, uniting leading international brands and designers with a discerning audience. The project includes design tours, special events, and strategic collaborations, with representatives in Italy, Dubai, Brazil, and Kazakhstan. KSA, 18 august 2025 – Over the years, ARTDOM has welcomed over 120,000 guests and featured more than 1,200 brands, with 50% of exhibitors being international. A significant portion, around 80%, are Italian brands, highlighting strong ties to Europe's design heritage. Design Philosophy Daria's love for design began in early childhood. She has a deep intuitive sense of aesthetics, what she calls her 'internal beauty filter.' From textures and silhouettes to architectural harmony, she finds beauty in detail and balance. Her inspiration comes from a mix of global influences: she draws from European elegance, especially Italian architecture and the structured beauty of Haussmann-era Paris, while also appreciating the boldness and scale of contemporary cities like Dubai. While she doesn't align with any specific national school of design, her style is defined by emotional resonance and timeless harmony, rather than geography. Why the Middle East, Why ARTDOM in Riyadh? Daria sees the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia in particular, as entering a new era of creative renaissance. Riyadh is rapidly emerging as a global design capital, making it the ideal stage for ARTDOM. Her vision is to integrate international design expertise with regional culture, history, and values, creating a dialogue that enriches both sides. Deeply interested in Eastern culture since her university years, Daria views ARTDOM as a cultural institution rather than just an exhibition, working with governments, museums, educational institutions, and patrons to advance the industry and foster cultural exchange. Business Vision for the Region The Middle East is a unique combination of economic ambition and cultural awakening. My goal is to position ARTDOM as a bridge between global design leaders and the regional creative community. We're creating a platform where international expertise meets local values and together, they generate ideas that shape the future of design in this part of the world. 'The Middle East is a unique combination of economic ambition and cultural awakening. My goal is to position ARTDOM as a bridge between global design leaders and the regional creative community. Together, we can create ideas and projects that shape the future of design while respecting cultural heritage.' Looking Ahead: 5-Year Vision in Saudi Arabia Daria envisions ARTDOM as a sustainable creative ecosystem for designers, architects, premium brands, and clients. In the next five years, the platform aims to: ? Build strong partnerships with both public and private sectors ? Actively participate in key cultural and business events ? Develop signature projects that become benchmarks in the region The focus is on cultural development, long-term business relationships, and international cooperation.
