Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk
Explore Dubai’s historic souks while indulging in nostalgic foods and hearing stories of the city’s first communities – the perfect mix of sightseeing and food!
Dubai is a city with such incredible culinary contrast that it’s easy to get lost in the sea of mainstream or touristy options and leave without having tasted what makes the city unique. On each of our tours, we’ll decode those humble dishes which you must try in order to feel grounded in the city and appreciate its oldest communities. We’ll take you through doors that only locals know of and transport you beyond the food with our stories, knowledge and insider secrets of the city.
Our 3 to 4 hour food tasting tours showcase a side of Dubai that we’ve cherished growing up here, but that few tourists and expats ever 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 food tours. These are 4-hour food tasting experiences combined with culture and storytelling across 4-5 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 and Little India in terms of food offered, but we guarantee you will not walk away hungry!
If you’re a vegetarian, you will have more options on the Little India tour and the Dubai Souks and Creekside Food Walk. The Middle Eastern tour does feature a non-veg main course that cannot be substituted.
If you’re wondering why we haven’t mentioned that Old Dubai Quick Taster tour yet, it’s because it hasn’t officially launched! But this tour is a light snacking experience that’s perfect for someone who wants a short experience that’s still rich in flavours and sights around the old souks.
