Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk

• Unravel an Old Dubai nostalgic wrap in the back alleys of the souk. This dish, a vibrant “child of mixed race parents,” reflects the diverse culinary influences of the region.
• Get ready for a competitive round of Spicy Bingo as we navigate through the aromatic alleys of the souk. Bring your game face—it gets lively!
• Indulge in a piping hot stuffed bread, a favorite from a tiny corner bakery. This treat boasts one of our most cherished fillings on the planet.
• Refresh with a traditional Iranian dessert, a cool concoction doused in rose syrup and lemon juice, perfect for the Dubai heat.
• Enjoy the scenic journey across the creek from Deira to Bur Dubai in a traditional wooden boat, capturing the essence of old Dubai.
• Wander through a narrow lane bustling with the only Indian hawkers in the city that we trust for the good stuff out the fryer: delicious crunchy snacks.
• Feast at an Emirati heritage restaurant where you’ll discover the two secret ingredients that are essential to making Emirati food uniquely flavorful.
