TB: Dinner in the Sky Jeddah

Seven long years ago when http://dinnerinthesky.com/ set put in Jeddah, KSA at the Park Hyatt Jeddah - Marina, Club and Spa (which made it extra more special) just right across the highest fountain in the world, the King Fahad's Fountain.

Dinner in the Sky Middle East
According to Wikipedia, Dinner in the Sky is a Belgian based novelty restaurant service which uses a crane to hoist its diners, table, and staff 150 feet into the air. Forbes magazine called it one of the world's ten most unusual restaurants.

We are actually not privy to this great event up until we came across this online deal in https://www.cobone.com/en/deals/jeddah/lenzoarabia-20junedinnerintheskyvaluemeal/10769 in Cobone.com.

One will be able to experience lounging in the Jeddah Corniche sky at a discounted rate!  Isn't that great! And since we just can't let this pass, we purchased the deal (paid Sar 137 for the price of Sar 350) and went to their location on our scheduled date on the 13th of July 2012.

Whilst waitiin' for other sky diners
We arrived at the site a bit early so we can somehow get to feel the place and take some pictures of course. Around 5 PM when we started to move up via a humongous crane. A little over 10 minutes more, we were already 50 meters hanging in the air!

Food (we took the SNACKS and not the dinner meal since we are actually up with the experience and not the food... or we can also say that we can afford the snacks and not the dinner) were served soon as we've reached the desired height. The Filipino crew on board were on their harness as they move around the space provided for them whilst serving the food and the drinks.

snacks in the sky :)

We had burger, fries & juice the Park Hyatt Jeddah way :)

Whilst we are having our snacks, the dining table/structure is moving clockwise. So each of the diners will get to see the entirety of the Jeddah Corniche & the Red Sea and not just a side of it! The view of the King Fahad Fountain with the sun set is just amazing!

It was such a great experience to have snacks/dinner in the sky! It isn't an everyday thing!

Ya Hamad! Let's Go enjoy life whilst we can!!!
