Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Anchor by Shamal Redefines Dining in Dubai

— November 7, 2024 — Art & Design
The Anchor is a newly developed dining destination in Dubai Harbour, a premier waterfront district. It adds to the area’s diverse mix of residential, lifestyle, and hospitality offerings. The venue will "feature several restaurants across four floors, each equipped with dedicated lifts and enclosed terraces for year-round dining while the rooftop will showcase a cantilevered pool, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline."

Designed to connect both residents and visitors with Dubai Harbour’s maritime spirit, The Anchor blends luxury with an authentic seafront experience. As a central hub in the area’s food and beverage scene, it provides direct access to the open sea, allowing guests to arrive by land or boat. The marina features "over 700 berths for various vessels, including superyachts." Additionally, a dedicated superyacht marina offers larger berths and an exclusive environment, complete with a pier club that includes alfresco dining options, enhancing the overall experience.
