The breakfast of Emirati and Gulf homes: vermicelli cooked with sugar, saffron, cardamom and rose water, topped with a thin egg omelette, so that sweet and savoury meet in one bite. Ask for it at your hotel breakfast, or at an Emirati café on a Friday morning.
Halal dining can be arranged at every hotel we recommend; tell us your preferences and we brief the chefs before you arrive.
