City & day trips
Dubai food tour
- Direct guests
- culture
- small groups
- incentive
A guided eating walk, usually through Old Dubai (Deira, Al Ras, Bur Dubai) or through the expatriate food neighbourhoods, with multiple tasting stops and cultural commentary between them.
How it operates
A walking route with several small tasting stops rather than one sitting, the guide filling the walk between them with the neighbourhood's history. Groups stay small, the route usually crosses the Creek by abra and passes through the souks, and dietary requirements are collected in advance because a fixed tasting route cannot improvise substitutions on the day.
For agents
Operating and selling mechanics
- Small-group only — 10–14 guests is the practical ceiling before the tasting stops break down.
- Excellent incentive and media product because it is genuinely local and photographs well.
- Dietary requirements must be collected in advance; substitutions on a tasting route are not improvised.
For travellers
What to brief your guests on
- Tell the operator about dietary requirements when you book — a fixed tasting route cannot improvise substitutions on the day.
Typical components
- Several small tasting stops rather than a single meal
- Arabic coffee and dates at a heritage house
- Street food such as shawarma, falafel and hummus
- Regional specialities — grilled madhbi, kunafa, saffron tea
