Dubaia metropolis raised out of sand

Currently holding the world record for highest restaurant, the upscale At.mosphere is located on the 122 floor of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (which is also the world’s tallest building). After the ear-popping ascent to the top, you’ll be greeted with the kind of opulence the city is known for. Choose from a five- or seven-course tasting menu, or order a la carte, with dishes such as wild sea bass with roasted salsify and clams or wagyu beef with artichokes and black truffle. Sure, it’s on the expensive side, but the food is excellent and the view is worth the price tag.
