Embarking on a cultural food tour in Old Dubai has been named as one of the top global experiences for 2026 in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel, spotlighting Dubai’s diverse culinary scene.
A
city built upon heritage and traditions, Dubai is home to a variety of
gastronomical experiences appealing to all budgets and preferences, influenced by the tastes of nearly 200 nationalities represented within
its resident population.
In
Dubai’s oldest neighbourhoods such as Bur Dubai and Deira, located along the
historic Dubai Creek, restaurants favour local ingredients, value and
authenticity, making a food tour a must-do activity for residents and visitors
alike.
Awarded
by Lonely Planet’s panel of expert contributors, Dubai’s experience is one of
50 essential picks for 2026, made up of 25 places and 25 experiences.
With
the entire city previously named as one of the world’s best for travellers to
visit in the Best in Travel 2020 list by Lonely Planet, this year’s nod marks
the first time a specific area in Dubai has been recognised. -TradeArabia News Service
