After coming from freezing Germany, we are finally staying in the UAE for a couple of days. We are exploring it's capital Abu Dhabi and trying to find the best Emirati and Arabian food around. We have said it before, but holy cow, the middle-east has some of the best food ever!
We are traveling for a couple of months again, and this the start of our Travel & Food series towards the East! #emiratifood #arabianfood #middleeastfood

At least once a week, I get a roasted chicken which is served with fries, laid on a khubz. With that I order hummus with khubz. I also love the shawarma (with spicy pickled veggies), mushakal and falafel (alone or in a a mushakal). Those dishes you are showing look so good. Hello from Kuwait

A potato fill, that’s funny that you say your first venture trying Tim Hortons is in the UAE. I’m in Canadian, so when you come to my country, make sure you try a double double with the top rated donut of Boston cream. And also get a 10 or 20 pack of TIMBITS!

United Arab Emirates is a rich country, relying high income from the oil industry, and cheap labour from poor countries. When the local economy drops within 10 to 20 years, the prices will change dramaticly.

I was in Abu Dhabi from 1977 to 2000. At that time all the shawarmas were lamb served on kubis (Arabic flat bread) with tahini sauce and pickles. Two delicious lamb shawarmas would fill you up and cost just two dirhams (30 pence) each.

@@extsaojose Then count yourself lucky. While the UAE seems to be in practice a lot more lenient especially towards female tourists than other Arab countries, they still have Sharia laws that allows them to throw women in jail for years if they dress "inappropriately". So if you encounter the wrong religious police officier who doesn't like your nose you really can get in trouble.

Vegans and vegetarians take particular note of Mediterranean, Arabian, and Middle Eastern cuisine. Instead of highly processed fake meat and dairy, there's delicious healthy real food you could be eating. Explore Israeli, Arab, Greek, and Turk cuisines and there are enough vegan/vegetarian options, you won't miss meat or dairy.

@chasefromalabama 3 ай бұрын

I can't speak for everyone, but those cuisines you mentioned all seem to be very veg forward. My Jewish grandmother used to say that growing up, they only ever really had meat on Shabbat (Friday evenings) and on holidays. She said the rest of the week was veg, fish, rice, bread (her mom made homemade bread twice a week), etc were the main staples.

@danywho8898 3 ай бұрын

90% of what vegans eat are vegetables, grains and beans. We only eat the fake meats occasionally when we crave something we grew up with. We eat delicious healthy food most of the time.
