Dubai Street Food Tour

A culinary walk through the alleyways and markets on the banks of Dubai Creek. Our stroll leads us through an Indian market. The Indian influence is strong and goes back to the time when pearls from the Arabian Sea were sold to India in exchange for textiles, spices and gold. So naturally the local cuisine has more than just a touch of Indian flavors. On our way through the textile market we sample typical Indian street snacks before crossing the Creek via Abra, a wooden water taxi. On the other side, we sample something refreshing to wake up your taste buds before going into the traditional spice market. The spice market is a good opportunity to buy things that are not "Made in China" like for example: frankincense, camel milk soap, saffron, Vanilla and exotic spice mixes. The most popular Street Food is Shawerma and you will get to try it of course. At the end of our tour we visit the oldest Persian family restaurant known for sheep kebabs marinated in yogurt and a secret mix of spices. Bon apetit !
