Palestinian mezze, Egyptian feteer pastries, Emirati lamb and rice dishes, and Syrian and Iranian sweets are all on the menu, so be sure to go on an empty stomach.

Dubai’s first-ever food trails, Frying Pan Tourism is quickly gaining popularity as it takes tourists through a unique food-tasting journey to some of the most authentic hidden gems.

Frying Pan Adventures runs a fantastic tour called Naif by Night which explores the souks, people and incredible food on offer.

Take a Frying Pan Adventures food tour through Deira, one of the city’s oldest areas, to get a taste of the Middle Eastern cuisine and a better understanding of the various cultures that make up this modern metropolis.

For the inside track on the city’s melting pot of cuisines, take a walking tour of old Dubai with Frying Pan Adventures, which offers fantastic foodie itineraries year-round.

It is like dropping down a rabbit hole, at least some Arabian culinary version of it, and hanging out with a bunch of whimsical chefs in a series of hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have been hiding in plain sight in the old neighbourhoods of Dubai.

Frying Pan Adventures were the first food tour company in the Middle East and they love immersing food lovers in Dubai’s authentic dining options.

We were welcomed like old friends to most of the restaurants, although perhaps because we were with Arva, who seems to be a celebrity in the area. Food in Old Dubai is a very tactile experience.

VISKA TESTA MASSOR av olika maträtter i kväll, så se till att finns plats i magen även på sista stoppet, säger Arva Ahmed som leder kvällens matpromenad i stadsdelen Bur Dubai, även kallad gamla Dubai.
