Dubai Food Tour with Tamour - Our food tour with Tamour was an absolute highlight of our time in Dubai. From the moment we met, it was clear how passionate he is about sharing not only the food, but also the culture and history behind it. What made the experience even more special was Tamour himself—he was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating stories. He created a fun, relaxed atmosphere where we could ask questions, learn, and connect over food. By the end of the evening, we not only enjoyed an incredible variety of dishes but also left with a much deeper appreciation for Dubai’s culture and culinary heritage. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai. Come hungry, curious, and ready for a memorable experience—you’ll be in great hands with Tamour!

Plenty of food & interesting information - Mansoor was very experienced & informative. He gave us a lot of information on the history of Dubai & local culture. We asked a lot of questions which he was happy to answer. Plenty of food & drinks were provided & we were very full at the end. The souks were interesting to see & we had the opportunity to purchase products if we wished too. We would recommend this tour when visiting Dubai

Tasty food tour! - Had a great tour through Dubai with Monsoor in August 2025. He showed us at least 5 places to eat including chicken shawarma, falafel, indian snacks, rose water, and chicken and rice. All the places were local and tasted great! We had a nice walking tour and he was able to show us a lot of old town, souks, and give us some history advice. He also took us to a spices shop where we got some Dubai chocolate at a discount and to the gold souk where he was patient while my wife purchased a ring. Great tour with delicious food. Definitely recommend!
