Dubai offers both traditional Emirati flavors and one of the world’s most international dining scenes. Local dishes to try include machboos (spiced rice with meat or fish), luqaimat (sweet fried dumplings with date syrup), samboosa, and grilled Gulf fish. A traditional Arabic breakfast with hummus, labneh, olives, and fresh bread is also popular. At the same time, Dubai is famous for its luxury fine dining, Middle Eastern street food, and top-level cuisine from all over the world — from Indian and Japanese to African and Filipino.

Dubai
The goal has always been to to become the world capital but Dubai might already be there… Few places on earth has such a huge range of luxury hotels, desert, sun, swimming, shopping, skiing, aquarium, golf courses, water parks, world records and much more in the same city.
A trip to Dubai gives the visitor an experience of a big city where the most exceptional is broken by something more exceptional. Here you can combine the beach holiday with fast-paced desert adventure, big city, crazy shopping in giant malls or in a little smaller format on a souk – a local market with small shops filled with fabrics in all imaginable colors, spices and souvenirs. A guide for a day is a must to get an understanding of Dubai’s development. It is a story that has been going on in rage that both amazes, impresses and clarifies.
