A space with small furniture seems at first glance to be a kids’ corner but is actually a café with seats, beds and small wooden houses for 15 cats at the Cat Café.

This project in Arjan, in the east of the Emirate of Dubai is not the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirates. The Ailuromania Cat Café, in the Jumeirah tourist area in western Dubai, is frequented by many residents, citizens and tourists in the UAE.
