Description

Stroll through Dubai's Old City with your private guide and sample a host of Eastern delicacies!

You'll meet your guide in Dubai's historic Al Fahidi district to kick off this gourmet tour to discover some of the Orient's culinary specialities. You'll start in the Al Bastakiya district with a visit to the region's only coffee museum. Find out more about the history of this bean and the drink it produces. You can also enjoy a cup of Gahwa, otherwise known as Arabic coffee. You will then follow your private guide to a traditional bistro and enjoy a breakfast full of Lebanese flavours.

Take in the Al Fahidi fort and step into the bustling Souk Al Kabeer, where you will find clothes, spices and handicrafts. Quench your thirst with a minty lemon juice before heading to Dubai Creek. Then it's time for Eastern meze, which you can enjoy while admiring the boats peacefully crossing the waterway. After that it's your turn to cross the creek to Deira in an Abra boat, a traditional wooden craft. There, a pleasant stroll will lead you to a restaurant, where you can dine on dishes like fattoush or falafels. Your tour will end in a top restaurant where you will fall in love with Emirati cuisine and its delicate aromas.
