Being an Arabic country, it is the most natural that Dubai has hundreds if not thousands of Arabic restaurants of all kinds, sizes and quality. The Arabic cuisine is one of the most colourful and definitely one of the best cuisines in the world. Although Arabic people prefer to eat at home, the restaurants are also highly used for socialising and business meetings. The most popular Arabic restaurants are located in downtown Dubai.
Talking about the Arabic foods as Allah says in the Holy Quran, the most important foods for Arabic people to eat are bread, olive oil and eggs. These also equal the most important breakfast items in all the Arabic countries.
As you may well know, Arabic people do not consume pork, it is highly forbidden. However, you can choose from any other meat, the lamb and chicken meat being among the most preferred ones. Arabic countries are very famous for their diverse types of steaks.
The Arabic countries have many common foods featured in their local cuisine, yet many differences exist, depending on the region of the Arabic country we are talking about. Besides the similarities based on the verses of the Holy Quran referring to the best eating habits which should be exercised by all Muslims, of course many foods are prepared in a different way in each country. Among the most popular Arabic restaurants, we can find many Lebanese, Egyptian, Moroccan, Syrian and Jordanian restaurants.
If you would like the perfect atmosphere, then choose a dhow cruise in the evening with dinner and show or try a desert safari with dinner. These are by far the best authentic choices for tourists to meet the world famous Arabic cuisine.
