Experience Details

Starting in the Old Quarter of Al Bastakiya, we visit the region’s only Coffee Museum for an interesting insight into regional and global coffee history. A cup of Gahwa, Arabic coffee kickstarts your tour. Stop next at a traditional Café, in cool and relaxed contrast to its busy street setting and try a Lebanese breakfast favorite, Cheese or Zaatar Manakesh.Stop briefly for delightfully refreshing Lemon-Mint juice before discovering a Creek-side hidden gem. Dig into a shared platter of Arabic Mezzeh whilst watching Abra boats tirelessly cross Dubai Creek. Later take this traditional wooden craft across the creek to Deira. A pleasant stroll brings you to a popular creek-side restaurant for a taste of Shawarma and Falafil, the most ubiquitous of Arab street foods. Your final stop is at a renowned Emirati restaurant (open buffet) where the subtle flavors of the Orient seduce you where the delicate fragrances will stay with you long after the meal.
