Timeline
16:19
Start with a coffee at Dekka. It is a short walk from the necropolis and open late, so you can grab a drink and settle in before the evening rush.
17:04
Walk up to the Chatby Necropolis. This historic site offers high ground and clear views toward the west. Arrive just before the sun dips below the horizon to catch the final golden light.
17:39
Head to Lail, a rooftop café near Al Shalalat Gardens. The sky will be dark, but the spot is perfect for shisha and a relaxed drink as you transition from the historic site to the evening's social scene.
18:04
Finish with dinner at Crave. This international restaurant is very close to your previous spot and stays open late, making it an easy end to the night.
Local tip
