72 Hours in Dubai: Desert Decadence in Just 3 Days

There's no better way to round out a trip to Dubai than with a late-night cocktail (in my case, before a 2 a.m. flight).

We were entranced by Zuma's dedicated cocktail ice shaper (yes, they work in shifts and do between 150 and 200 perfect circles branded with "Zuma" per shift) and ended up staying for drinks. But can you blame us? The restaurant-bar is equally amazing, and the bar operates in an oversize six-station space similar to that of the sushi bar or a robata grill. Highlights include the signature old fashioned, aperitifs, and extensive sake collection.
