A delicious Middle Eastern foods

Emirati rice dishes are typically rich in flavour, made with rice, meat (lamb, chicken or seafood) and a variety of spices.

The Persian Gulf states, from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Oman and Kuwait, finally separated from the Indian system on April 1, 1947, just a few months before the independence of India and Pakistan and the collapse of British India. A few months later, India and Pakistan began to take over hundreds of princely states, but these Arab states were no longer on the list of India and Pakistan. Even 75 years later, the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East still retains traditional Indian cuisine.

Dubai is an emirate in the United Arab Emirates and the country's most populous city. Dubai is known for its multicultural cuisine, which brings together flavors from the Middle East, Arabia, and around the world. Must-try foods include shawarma (Middle Eastern chicken wrap), machboos (traditional Emirati rice), luqaimat (Arabic sweet meatballs) and a variety of Arabic desserts, as well as camel milk products such as chocolate and soap.

Spicy Indian curry, fresh Iranian kebabs, rich Italian pasta, and even Din Tai Fung and Little Sheep, everything you can think of can be found here. Whether it is enjoying the pleasure of gluttony in the clouds at the sky restaurant on the 122nd floor of the world's tallest Burj Khalifa, tasting global cuisine at the theme park Global Village where iconic buildings from all over the world are visible, or tasting seafood from all over the world at the underwater restaurant surrounded by fish, Dubai always seems to be good at creating surprises for diners.

Of course, with all this international culinary excitement, perhaps the most overlooked is the local cuisine of the United Arab Emirates. In fact, in Dubai, you can also enjoy a variety of Levantine dishes, including hummus and shawarma (a grilled meat wrap filled with lamb, chicken or vegetables in pita bread).

Levantine cuisine refers to the cuisine of the Levant region. Levantine cuisine has similarities to Egyptian cuisine, North African cuisine, and Ottoman cuisine. People in the Levantine cuisine region prefer Egyptian fava beans, hummus, tabbouleh, and Middle Eastern eggplant mash.
