The UAE is a foodie's delight. It is easy to overlook the country's origins when diverse cuisines are provided at some of the top restaurants. When it comes to indigenous Emirati cuisine and other cultures' cuisines that rocked the Emirati culinary scene, there are several dishes to try in the UAE, and the food is simple and finger-licking excellent. One thing you must do while visiting the UAE is to try the local cuisine, which reflects the region's geography, culture and climate. Some of the UAE's most famous food include Shawarma - a non-vegetarian delicacy which has sliced chicken, lamb or beef, rolled in a soft flatbread filled with fresh vegetables, onions and various sauces - and Thereed - a famous dish of UAE consisting of chicken, lamb or goat, and roasted vegetables-potatoes, tomatoes, marrow, and pumpkin, served on top of Rigag, a traditional thin Emirati bread. And if you're thirsty, take a break and visit one of UAE's cafés and dining options. Tea and coffee are the most common traditional beverages in the UAE, which has embraced beverages from other Middle Eastern and subcontinental nations as well, thanks to its cosmopolitan culture. If you feel like having a hot beverage, Gahwa, also known as Arabic coffee; Sulaimani, a mint and lemon tea; and Karak, UAE's national tea; are among the most famous in the UAE. While Jallab, a blend of grape molasses and rose water; Qamardeen; a thick apricot beverage, and Laban, a yoghurt-based drink; are perfect cold go-to beverages on a hot day.
