Travel Itinerary

Pack pistachio baklava and Arabic coffee for a picnic on the dunes, watching oryx and camels wander past the man-made oasis.

Retro-food-truck park offering everything from Korean tacos to Emirati-style shawarma—perfect mid-morning grazing.

Choose fresh hammour or tiger prawns, then head to a nearby kitchen where a local chef teaches you to grill it with Emirati spices.

Dine surrounded by floor-to-ceiling aquarium views while sampling caviar, langoustine, and champagne-poached oysters.

Enjoy balaleet (sweet vermicelli) and chebab pancakes while learning about Emirati hospitality in a wind-tower house.

See beans roasted on site, cup single-origin Ethiopian, and grab a bag of house-roasted Yemen Mocha to take home.

A no-frills Karama sidewalk cart serving paper-thin dosa, sambar, and filter coffee beloved by Dubai’s Indian community.

Cross Dubai Creek for 1 AED, then hunt for saffron ice-cream and pistachio knafeh in the nearby sweet alleys.

An intimate chef’s table experience re-imagining local flavors—think camel-mole tacos and date-smoked lobster.

Visit the UAE’s first camel dairy for a frothy camel-ccino paired with date-filled croissants before heading back to town.

Sample mountain-honeycomb, roasted corn, and fresh pomegranate juice while haggling for woven baskets.

End your foodie adventure with ceviche, wagyu anticuchos, and Burj Khalifa views atop the new Brasserie Fouquet’s.
