Before, however, to rise skyscrapers and spectacular malls, the emirates of the Gulf had a tradition of their own, which involved dishes rich in meat and fish, for those on the seashore, and fewer vegetables (because of the desertic climate). All this was combined with the food of immigrants, of which the Indian ones had the most significant impact on the tastes of the emirs. Where to eat traditional food in Dubai? Let’s find out!
On holiday in Dubai, if you want to taste traditional food, it would be best to choose one of the cultural tables at the Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum center. It is located in the historical part of the city, where besides the dishes, you get a rich palette of cultural information about life in the Emirates.
You can discover restaurants with traditional menus in the same area, such as Arabian Tea House or Nablus Kanafeh. If you cross the river, in the bazaar area, you will also find authentic restaurants, but not as fancy as those in al Fahidi, which are mainly dedicated to tourists, but not only.
Another point of interest for traditional tastes is the Logma restaurant, with offices in the Dubai Mall and the Box Park, a new area full of restaurants of all kinds, built in containers.
But Dubai must be explored, even from a culinary point of view, so the options are very varied and always new venues open with delicious meals. See the video taken in a city break in the famous Dubai emirate to give you an idea.
