Old Dubai Food and Souk Trail

About this experience

Taste your way through the creek-side neighbourhoods that shaped Dubai's trading story. This guided small-group walk pairs selected Emirati and regional flavours with Al Fahidi lanes, an abra crossing and the busy market atmosphere of the Spice and Gold Souks.

Tastings and stops are chosen by the operating guide and can change with opening hours, season and dietary requirements. Tell Tawaf Travel about allergies before booking so the supplier can confirm what can be accommodated; the tour is not represented as allergy-free.
