If your idea of celebrating National Day involves something between a parade and a pastry, Palazzo Versace Dubai has the perfect compromise: a themed UAE National Day afternoon tea at Mosaico Lobby Lounge. Think glittering décor, tiny desserts waving the flag (yes, edible ones), traditional Emirati dance, and a cake trolley that’s basically a happiness machine on wheels. It’s festive, photogenic, and absolutely acceptable to wear something sparkly while dipping a scone in clotted cream.
What to expect
Mosaico’s National Day offering is an all-day High Tea celebration running across the National Day weekend – themed High Tea desserts (including edible UAE flags), a ceremonial cake cutting, art coffees with the National Day emblem, live traditional dance performances, and plenty of photogenic corners for your selfie needs. The regular High Tea experience at Mosaico runs daily from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and for this weekend the venue dresses everything up to honour the occasion.
When, where and how much
Mosaico – UAE National Day Afternoon Tea
When: December 2nd & 3rd, 10:30 AM – 7:00 PM.

Why Mosaico is the mood
If you haven’t been, Mosaico is the sort of lobby lounge that dresses like it’s attending a gala even on a Tuesday – high ceilings, patterned marble floors, and furnishings that whisper “champagne, please.” The National Day setup adds the right amount of confetti-free patriotism: flags, music, and performances that bring traditional Emirati culture centre stage – but with a gilded, Versace-savvy frame. It’s ideal for families and friend groups who want something classy, lively, and just a touch theatrical.
Who will love this
- Families who want a culturally rich, relaxed celebration with kids (and patience for tiny dessert portions).
- Friend squads who want to celebrate in style without the nightclub chaos.
- Anyone who thinks National Day deserves a cake trolley and fine china.
Final nibble (a polite nudge)
If you want a seat near the windows for creek views, or a corner that’s less #influencer-heavy, it’s worth booking ahead – this is a special weekend, and the lounge fills fast. See you there with a tiny flag on your plate and a big smile in your camera roll.
Enjoy the tea, the flag-shaped petit fours and the Velázquez-level elegance – and if you happen to spill a crumb on a Versace cushion, just call it avant-garde decorating.
