While modern flavors and techniques influence Emirati food, the cuisine still retains much of its traditional character. A medley of aromatic spices such as cinnamon, saffron, turmeric, and nutmeg take center stage alongside dried fruits and fresh herbs like coriander, mint, and thyme. Try traditional harees, mandi, and karak tea at restaurants like Logma at The Dubai Mall, JBR's Seven Sands and Al Hadheerah, tucked away among the dunes of Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa.
