When you think of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), images of skyscrapers and desert adventures come to mind. But beyond its magnificent lifestyle, there is a Pak treasure that tells the story of culture, tradition and diversity. From traditional emerti dishes to global cuisine, UAE is actually a food lover’s dream.
Authentic Emirati Taste
Using ingredients such as rice, meat and aromatic spices, in the traditions of Bedouin life, the emerati dishes are deeply linked. A signature dish is a muchabos, a aromatic rice dish that is cooked with meat, dried lime and spices. Another favorite is Haris, a slow cooked mixture of wheat and meat that melt in your mouth. And no amiri food is complete without a lukeemat, the golden dumplings dripping from the sweet date syrup. These traditional cuisine offer a glimpse in the legacy of Emirates.
Street food adventures
Roads of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are alive with the aroma of delicious street food. Shawarma tops the list as the most popular quick bite, which is often paired with crisp fries and garlic chutney. You will also find a strong and spicy tea alike by the famous Karak Chai, locals and exits. Street food in the UAE reflects its multicultural population, which offers taste from around the world at affordable prices.
Luxury food and fine food
