The following details the various meals and refreshment beverages you’ll have on the Dubai Desert Safari.
Traditional Arabic Food:
The Real Experience Arabic food provides you with a different taste, especially when indulged in while sat right in the middle of the Dubai Desert. At the Desert Safari Dubai, you will truly get to the very heart of the real Middle Eastern heritage with our wide variety of traditional food that ranges from dips to platters of meats, every bite of which gives you a taste of the rich history and tradition of the region.
Hummus and Baba Ganoush:
The Best Appetizers Let’s begin with hummus; a classic chickpea dip that offers a smooth a nutty taste, with a pleasant spice level. Baba ganoush is an ultra-silky, richly smoky eggplant dip with tahini, garlic and lots of good olive oil. These two dips are more than appetizers, they’re quite simply basics in Arabic cooking that everyone who loves to eat needs to try at least once.
Shawarma:
A Meatier ChoiceIf you’d like something more substantial than hummus and baba ganoush, you’ve got to get a shawarma in desert safari. This popular street snack is made by marinating chicken or beef in spicy seasonings and letting the meat cook, rotisserie style, on a vertical spit. The cooked meat is carved off the spit in thin slices, and served in warm, soft pita bread with spicy sauces, pickles, and maybe garlic mayo. Not to mention the combination of those meaty flavors soaked into the fresh bread will make you savor every single bite!
Classic Arabic Dishes:
A Taste of Heritage, (the) ultimate way into Arabian cuisine is through the regional dishes. Tabbouleh — a fresh, bright parsley salad dotted with bulgur wheat, fresh tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon. Falafel, crispy fried patties typically prepared with chickpeas, beans, or lentils, and some savory, delicious spices.
BBQ Grills – A Smoky and Delicious Treat
There’s nothing like a grill in the desert if you love meat. The real trick is grilling the meat over hot coals to get that great smoky taste and crispy outer crust.
Juicy Lamb Chops and Delicious Kebab:
If there’s one thing you’d be desperate to eat, it’s those mouth-watering lamb chops that you’ll be treated to right at the desert safari. They are charcoal-grilled perfectly; tender, juicy, and with a char that only enhances the smokiness of the already rich meat. You’ll also love the kebab. These delicious morsels are marinated in a spicy mix and can be made with minced beef or lamb. It doesn’t matter. The flavorful, smoky goodness will satiate your cravings no less, trust me.
Grilled Vegetables and Pander:
Vegetarian food doesn’t only mean lettuce leaves or boring raw vegetables. No problem! They also have really good vegetarian options on the grill. Seasoned with Au Naturel and grilled to perfection, they are a perfect side dish, and are also very sweet and smoky. If you’re a pander lover, you’ll be as content with the grilled paneer skewers, a fragrant, spice-laden marinated cheese on the stick for grilling. The Paneer is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and is a great vegetarian option. All of which is refreshing and lifts the other entrees from their lumpen weight.
Flatbread Cannot Be Improved Upon, So We Serve It Alone And Enjoy It!
You can’t have a grill party without fresh flatbreads. The light and warm soft breads are great for scooping hummus or wrapping up grilled meat. They are light and pillowy soft, which is a great textural contrast to the richness of the fillings that holds up well to the smoky char of the grilled meats. Flatbreads are the unsung glory of the meal, and it will gild every bite of barbecue or grill vegetable you eat.
Sea Food Delicacies: From the Arabian Sea
For those who love seafood, no worries Dubai Desert Safari has something for you as well. Raw fish and prawn are spiced and marinated highlighting its intense freshness. It is perfectly cooked. Barbecued until tender and piping hot, with traditional Middle-Eastern spices. The plates have been bright and light and full of flavor, which more or less aced the whole feast thing. Marinated in garlic and lemon, grilled prawns are served as something that is sour, refreshing and will cut right through the richness of everything else.
Dishes with Rice: An Appetizing and Fulfilling Choice
Rice is a staple food of all Middle Eastern food, and desert safari also serves them in style. Of the varied rice dishes, kasha is the most notable dish as it has an aromatic scent from the spices and the beautifully tender meat mixed with spiced rice. It’s typically accompanied by some yogurt to temper the spice. Other favorites: biryani-an Arabic and Indian fusion of long-grain rice cooked with flavored spices and marinated meats. These rice dishes are full and heavy, meant to soak up all the flavored energy of the meal.
Unfamiliar Salads: A Crisp Mouthful Amid Richness
Then, of course, there are the various kebabs, the scents of rice as if they were perfumes themselves, an entire section that might as well be classified as cool salad. For that matter there is also the parsley and bulgur wheat salad tossed with lemon juice. It is crsip to the bite and fresh to the touch, steeps rich favors from all courses of dishes. Another salad available is the fattish. It includes toasted pita bread and mixed greens, that add a tangy and crunch to your dish.
Dining with dessert: Sweet endings to a good meal
‘Dessert’ is never really a ‘dessert’ if there isn’t something sweet to wrap up your meal – not to worry that’s exactly why Dubai Desert Safari includes offering some of the most well-known Arabic sweets. The most well-known of these being the baklava; a sweet, buttery pastry of flaky dough sweetened with honey. Within, cream pasted with ground nuts for the crunch. Another of their favorite desserts are tiny doughnuts glaze with date syrup, called Luqaimat. The little treats are spongy and fluffy and their sweet uncomplicatedness is a comforting grace note to a meal.
Drinks: Tradition, Refreshment and Energy!
An assortment of beverages is also served during the meal with the desert safari. For starters, Arabic coffee is served in small cups and is a genuine beverage laced with cardamom for taste. The coffee is definitely strong, it has a nice aroma and it’s the perfect drink to sip between bites. Another well-known drink is mint tea, cool enough and refreshing to be drunk with the heavy meals. There are cold drinks to be had, as well: choices of fresh juice—pomegranate and mango flavors—that will give you the sweet/crisp cap you’ll be looking for.
