First time visitor to Dubai? Expat that recently moved here? Opt for our Middle Eastern Food Pilgrimage or our Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk. And whether you’ve got Dubai Mall on your hitlist or you’re actively avoiding it, in both cases, give our Dubai Mall Food Tour a whirl. For those in the skeptics camp, this tour has been known to change many a mind on how interesting mall food can be!
Resident for a few or many years? Keep reading – the choice of tour really depends on what you’re looking to experience!
If you’re looking for a tour that’s exclusively food and no sightseeing, then we recommend our Middle Eastern Food Pilgrimage and Little India (private request only) food tours. These are 3.5-4 hour food tasting experiences combined with culture and storytelling across 3 to 4 eating stops.
If you seek a blend of food and sightseeing, the Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk is for you. In addition to tasting eclectic foods from some of the older communities around the creekside, you will discover hidden alleys, learn about spices, take a boat ride and soak in vibrant sights and aromas. It’s also our only tour that includes indigenous Emirati food. The overall food component is slightly lighter than the Middle Eastern Food Pilgrimage and Little India Food Tour in terms of food offered, but we guarantee you will not walk away hungry!
Hate the Mall? We’re going to play devil’s advocate and recommend our Dubai Mall food tour. Long time residents who avoid the mall like the plague have joined and…let them tell you what happened.
If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll have more options on the Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk and the Little India Food Tour. We also offer a veggie add-on on our Dubai Mall Food Tour! The Middle Eastern Food Pilgrimage does feature a non-veg main course that cannot be substituted.
Have kids tinier than 8 years old? Our Dubai Mall Food Tour is a delicious bet and one that fits snugly into a trip you’ve already planned to see the world’s largest mall with its fountains, aquarium and indoor kids edutainment zone (Kidzania!) The tour checks of all the parenting boxes: (a) cultural lesson on foods from around the world (b) comfortably paced (c) not a whole lot of walking (d) best ever bathroom breaks (e) free for kids under 6!
