Circle
Food explorers: find people to try new places with in Dubai
Dubai has food from almost every country, and it’s more fun to explore with someone who’s just as curious. This circle is for people who plan their weekends around what to eat next.
Where people do this in Dubai
- Older neighbourhoods such as Karama, Al Satwa, Deira and Bur Dubai, known for affordable food from around the world.
- Seasonal outdoor markets and food festivals in the cooler months.
- Food halls and malls when it’s too hot to be outside.
How to find your people
- Take turns choosing: each of you picks a cuisine the other hasn’t tried.
- Share dishes, so trying new places is cheaper and more fun.
- Keep a shared list of places you both want to try.
First plans for two
- A street-food evening in Karama or Deira
- Weekend brunch somewhere new
- A cooking night at a class or a public workshop
Good to know
Agree on a budget before you go, and split the bill the way you both prefer.
How the Food explorers circle works
Members of this circle start plans that anyone in the circle can join, like a game, a walk or a coffee, and answer one quick question a week. Plans are always in public places and arranged by members. Friendship only, for grown-ups 18 and over.
