Tired of roaming under the scorching heat in the sandy dunes of Dubai? Try sipping  an afternoon tea at any of the cafes on the streets of the city. The tea, that sounds like a basic drink comes  with a lot of delicacies that actually make your mouth water after doing some shopping inside the air conditioned malls or the sunlit streets. A seven course tea includes a glass of champagne, some sandwiches, sorbets, scones and salmon-en-croute followed by some petits or chocolates and French pastries along with a plate and a knife,  but no fork!
