Tea time with a view! ☕️✨ I recently got to experience the famous afternoon tea at 📍 @theglobeksa , perched high atop the Al Faisaliah Tower, and let me tell you about it!
First off, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking! You get this incredible, panoramic view over Riyadh, and we timed it perfectly to watch the sunset from up there. It was pure magic! 🌇🌅 The ambiance from the towering height and the evolving sky was truly unforgettable.
However, while the view was certainly a highlight, I have to be honest about the service. For a place with such an iconic setting and reputation, it felt a little... below expectations. It just didn’t quite match the ‘magical’ vibe the location promises.
As for the food itself, it was nothing particularly spectacular. It leaned a bit more towards a standard hotel buffet feel, somewhat blend in flavor, and nothing really stood out or ‘touched’ me in that sense.
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐ / 5
So, while the incredible views and that stunning sunset are definitely worth experiencing, set your expectations for the food and service accordingly. It’s a view to remember!
