 Even consistent sightseers are attracted by something innovative each time they arrive – a record breaking museum perhaps, a complete hipster quarter that apparently sprang up dramatically. So even if you have ticked the must dos off your list, don’t ever think you have done it all, because Dubai is always on a task to outshine itself. Here are the two futuristic things that you definitely must do when in Dubai next. |
Museum of the Future
A robot with a human-like face, is one of the numerous gasp provoking features of the museum. This 77-feet up-to-date architectural genius, which unlocked in February 2022, is among Dubai’s topmost visitor lures today, having greeted more than a squillion sightseer from a hundred and sixty-three nations.
The edifice itself is a view to watch; it stands out among Dubai’s countless towers. Straddling an expanse of thirty thousand square metres, it embodies a state-of-the-art international logical centre. One of the most arresting elements lies in the Arabic calligraphy that the total frontage is covered in.
It also signifies speech marks from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, and represents a voyage to the future. One of them reads, ‘We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.’ A visit inside this museum offers the chance to plunge yourself into revolutionary thoughts. The OSS Hope, for example, is a representation of humanity’s home in space, here, you could absorb about what life could possibly be on-board an enormous station in the year 2071.
Another focus is The Heal Institute, a theoretical group that lives in the year 2071 to relate technologies that will aid mend harm that we have done to the environmental world as an outcome of climate change. There are exciting latest additions as well; prime among them being a Robodog, a pet that is part of the new generation of advanced robots and welcomes visitors as they walk through the lobby of the museum.
Krasota, A Theater Restaurant, Ground Floor, Address Downtown Hotel
Not merely a menu, but gastronomic masterworks stimulated by the celebrated artists of ‘Imaginary’· Krasota welcomes patrons to the unique dining experience, best expressed as an immersive gastro-theatre station by the squad behind Moscow’s celebrated White Rabbit restaurant, Krasota is a storyteller restaurant, telling fascinating stories and leading you over a vibrant ‘Epicure Journey’ charming all of your wits.
This theatre-restaurant exclusively communes the immersive scenography of restauranteur and creator of White Rabbit Family, the mind behind the scheme Boris Zarkov, the pictographic art of film director and co-owner Anton Nenashev, and the haute cuisine of Chef Vladimir Mukhin. Here you are not settled in a regular dining room, it’s more of an amphitheatre with a substantial round table for 20 diners, with a pixel-perfect 3D multimedia act prearranged athwart the warped walls and risen over the table.
Every act of the gastro-performance equals each course of the set menu. The dinner show begins with a welcome amuse-bouche, eight courses and eight pictorial acts, with two signature blended drinks served in the pauses.
| Reservations are essential, and tickets can be obtained from the Krasota Box Office or on https://krasotadubai.restoplace.ws/ Altogether, a justly exclusive and extraordinary gastronomic experience that blends Art, visual projections, and stylish cuisine. The project is an honour to the White Rabbit Family’s pledge to pushing confines and making original experiences. |
