So be worry-free! No matter which area of the UAE you reside in, here is a list of the best cafés in every emirate as rated by trusted sites.

Oh, and it has a fantastic sourdough pizza. There’s no better place to go for comfort food and luscious beach atmosphere.

Sharjah: Fen Café, Sharjah Art Foundation

Fen Café & Restaurant, derived from the word “art,” is a romantic hotspot buried away in the Sharjah Art Foundation, the city’s cultural crown gem.
