On September 23, 1994, the world saw the beginning of everlasting friendship between Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Chandler, Ross, and Monica. In honor of its 25th anniversary, the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain will be paying a nostalgic ode to the sitcom. 

The show that is loved by individuals of every age will be showcasing it’s priceless Central Perk Cafe set around the world for die-hard fans to witness. From Sunday, September 15, The Dubai Mall will display the backdrop, the iconic orange couch, the rug, and the coffee table. That’s not all, even the cutlery will be available for viewing at the Waterfall Atrium. The time has finally come to take a picture on the set of your favorite show – and it doesn’t require a flight to Warner Bros. Studio.
