Description

Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Dubai’s oldest communities. While the Dubai Souks are a bustling tourist hotspot, dive deeper, celebrating the narrow alleys and humble eateries that define the area’s rich history. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a multi-sensory journey through the vibrant souks, where every sight, sound, and scent adds to the narrative we weave as your local storytellers. In small group tours, capped at about 14 souls, it feels more like wandering with old friends than following a flag-waving guide. You’re not just another tourist; you’re part of the gang, digging into the city’s stories as if they were your own. What Makes Our Dubai Walking Food Tour Different? Experience the Dubai Souks like never before, engaging all your senses while uncovering stories only locals can tell. Roam with us, and discover why just looking around isn’t enough—without the stories, you’re only scratching the surface. What Will You Experience? 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. Experience the charm of Dubai Creek on a traditional abra, leading you to the vibrant textile souk of Bur Dubai where we will wind down the evening by savoring a beloved Indian street snack. Note: One eating stop is skipped from May - September.
