• “ Beluga ” speaks for itself , offering premium caviar tastings .
The Sofitel group has recently opened its new super-luxury “ Obelisk ” hotel in Dubai . It is built in the form of the famous Luxor obelisk with a golden pyramidal top . The interior combines ancient Egypt architecture ( reflected in its art deco style ) and the United Arab Emirates cultural influence . At the entrance , you are greeted by a four-metre golden falcon with a 9-metre wingspan ( the national symbol of the UAE ). You then venture in the Valley of Kings and Queens of Luxor with its giant columns decorated with hieroglyphs .

All dishes at Kinoya ( down to the ramen noodles ) are handmade and truly delightful !
