African Queen Dubai: Hours, Prices and Contact
African Queen is a French Riviera-style restaurant at J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, open Monday to Thursday 10:00–24:00 and Friday to Sunday 10:00–01:00. Reservations: +971 52 778 0760 or info@africanqueendubai.com.
The venue publishes set-price offers rather than a full priced à la carte menu on its own site: the French Riviera Lunch is AED 250 per person and the Call of the Jungle brunch is priced from AED 450 per person. Its own food menu is a PDF without visible prices, but African Queen prices its dishes on its Deliveroo storefront, and those figures are set out in the menu below — delivery prices can run above the dining-room price, and platform fees sit on top.

African Queen menu and prices
Prices below are taken from African Queen's own storefront on Deliveroo for its Jumeirah 1 branch at J1 Beach, checked on 3 September 2026. Delivery-platform prices are sometimes higher than the same dish costs in the dining room, and the platform's delivery and service fees sit on top, so these are not necessarily what you pay at the table. African Queen's own website still publishes its Breakfast, À La Carte, Dessert and Kids menus only as PDFs with no prices in the page text, so no priced menu appears there. Evian water and coffee are listed on the storefront without a price and so are not shown below. The set-price lunch, brunch and drinks offers listed above come from the venue's own J1 Beach dining page.
When to go
Hours vary by day at African Queen — the full breakdown is in the table above, and weekend closing is later than midweek. Restaurant hours as above, per africanqueen-restaurant.com. The same page gives the pool and beach areas as daily 10:00 until sunset, a time the venue does not fix to the clock, and beach dining as daily 10:00–23:30. Note that the J1 Beach dining listing for African Queen states a simpler "All Week 10:00 am - 2:00 am"; the restaurant's own site is the more specific of the two operator sources.

How to get to African Queen
| Nearest metro | There is no metro station within walking distance of J1 Beach; the nearest Red Line stations are several kilometres away in Business Bay or along Sheikh Zayed Road, so a taxi or car is the practical option. |
|---|---|
| Parking | Neither African Queen's own site nor J1 Beach publishes a public car park, a parking rate or a free-parking allowance. J1 Beach describes itself as having "valet access and dedicated jetty", so valet is the arrival method the operator actually names; arrive by boat is also offered on the J1 Beach site. |
| Taxi & ride-hailing | Set the drop-off to J1 Beach, 2 A Street, Jumeirah 1. |

Is there parking at African Queen Dubai?

+971 52 778 0760. Email bookings go to info@africanqueendubai.com, and reservations can also be made through SevenRooms.
Where is African Queen Dubai located?
At J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, Dubai. There is no metro station within walking distance, so a taxi or car is the practical way to get there.
Does African Queen have a lunch set menu?
Yes. The J1 Beach dining page for African Queen prices the French Riviera Lunch at AED 250 per person. It is listed as a flat per-person price, not a "from" price.
What are African Queen's working hours?
They differ by day. African Queen does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.
Is African Queen open today?
African Queen publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.
Where can I read reviews of African Queen?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
