Definitely the most well-known and most destination in the Emirates, Dubai is a tourist’s delight every step of the way. Whether you gaze in awe at the towering Burj Khalifa or be dazzled by the magnificent Atlantis Hotel, whether you and your kids have a whale of a time at probably the world’s biggest indoor aquarium, or you and your friend hang out at the Desert Safari, Dubai will make sure you enjoy every moment you are there.
The local population being less than 20%, and the rest of the population being from all parts of the world (ex-pat workers and tourists), it is little wonder that in terms of culinary choice, Dubai is second to none. Restaurants offering authentic cuisine from every conceivable country on the world map can be found in Dubai, which makes it most certainly the food capital of the Middle East.
While you can get any kind of food that you want in Dubai, the local cuisine is also very interesting. Like many another middle- eastern countries, you will find a mouth-watering variety of shawarmas, and humus-based dishes form a large part of the local food culture (vegetarian options are also available). But there are some interesting additions. At the top is something called ‘stuffed camel’ (yes, it is exactly what it seems like) – a royal feast only served at very special occasions, and also frightfully expensive. Also among the local favorites are Al Harees (a simple dish of wheat and meat cooked in a covered clay pot) and Al Machboos (a deliciously spicy combination of tender meat and rice cooked for hours), Ghazi (mutton kebabs served with nuts and vegetables on a bed of rice and mehalabiya (pudding flavored with rosewater and pistachios).
