Starbucks, the world’s favorite coffee shop and cafe. Dubai, one of the most incredible cities on Earth. Combined you get this themed Starbucks in Al Seef Dubai, a modern day Starbucks with old-world appeal.
Starbucks has an iconic logo, color and shop setup. Yet in rare cases, that model can change to fit the environment it is in, like this Dubai Starbucks, photographed by @s1_jun on Instagram. At Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, the Starbucks on Main Street U.S.A. has to fit the turn-of-the-century town it is placed in. Punta Cana’s signature Starbucks matches the island’s architectural aesthetic and uses regional materials.
This Starbucks is located at Al Seef, a shopping, dining and lodging destination in Dubai that offers modern amenities with a historic look of Dubai and the U.A.E.

Instagram opportunities at Starbucks Al Seef Dubai
Dubai is a city of dreams, with record breaking architecture and modern amenities. The city’s backdrop along the Al Seef Marina waterway makes for a great photo opportunity. For Starbucks fans though, many know that the iconic cup and logo backdrop is enough for a worthy Instagram post.
This is where the Starbucks of Al Seef Dubai will get you the most clout. From the locally sourced materials, to the old-world look, this Starbucks leans towards authentic emirates. Indoor and outdoor seating areas can provide the subtle spontaneous photo op. The textured walls can work for a #starbies post, or a general background photo from your Dubai trip. The surrounding plants and natural light can perfectly setup that next portrait.
More than a Starbucks – a spot to stop, relax, hang with family and friends and grab a snack. Which truly is the main idea of cafe. But, in this case, it is also aesthetically pleasing to see a new wrap on a tried-and-true store.
