Ultimate Afternoon Tea at the Burj Al Arab

Mom and I had tried to book the 'Ultimate Afternoon Tea' at the Burj Al Arab last time she was here but were unsuccessful. This time, we got a reservation in the Sahn Edar (lobby lounge) and had to cross our fingers that Peanut would hold out...we will thank him, when he is older.

Our 2.5 hour afternoon tea consisted of 7-courses, which we took photos of each but opted not to post. It was a great experience - very glad we got to do it.

It is pretty impressive.

First course - little sandwiches and sparkling apple/peach juice.

Cheers.

Berries and cream.

There were over 50 teas to choose from. I enjoyed the 'Get the Power' (red currant and cola nut) with the hopes it would help me with the delivery.
