Make sure you come hungry because there will be a lot of food! I really recommend this food tour because of the great storytelling by our guide, Dana, a local Emirati who is really passionate about the history of the city. The tour is super customizable as well so it can fit whatever schedule you have for your time in Abu Dhabi.
The best experience i never had with Arabic culture and a friendly guide thank you so much for the memorable time with my friends.

It was a truly special family experience and absolutely not to be missed. We all enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere and the excellent organization, which thoughtfully catered to both adults and children. Every detail was carefully considered, from the warm welcome to the high quality of the overall experience, making us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout. The kids were genuinely happy, and the adults enjoyed a perfect balance of relaxation and enjoyment. The time we spent together created beautiful memories that we will cherish as a family. It is definitely an experience worth repeating, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable family outing.

I enjoyed the number of dishes served and the great hospitality. And I discovered that there are common spices between the Arab Gulf countries and Asian countries. I recommend this tour to everyone
Me and my wife we had the best time on the Abudhabi food tour with our guide Zak ! He was so kind and knowledgeable and this tour made our first trip to Abudhabi memorable. Would highly recommend Zak if you’re looking for a great guide in the city.
I only came to AbuDhabi for about 48 hours on an extended layover and had heard fantastic things about it. I booked a tour with Hiara Tours leading the way and absolutely loved. Not only were the food and drinks excellent, but our guide, made sure we all were talking, had fun, and learned about Abudhabi and UAE. If you like sweets, food, and local life, I’d highly recommend doing this tour as a good way to get immersed in and learn about Abudhabi and it’s local scene. I also highly recommend Saleh as a local guide as well. He’s the man!
The best tourist guide Time passes quickly with her and many intellectual. It was a fairy tale ،You are a brilliant guide I really enjoyed it with you
Thanks for Touring with Hiara Tours. We wish to see you with other tours.
Saleh and Houda took us to a variety of places with good eats, good drinks, lively conversation and laughs. Never could have found these restaurants on my own. MACHBOS is now on my most desired list. Bonus time Karak was a nice way to end the night...
A great tour to get a taste of the local cuisine for food. Sampled local dishes, karak and lqimat varieties as well as a range of food options. Finished in a local restaurant where locals set on the ground and share in an open dinner area. Certainly made even better with the Emirati guides who were amazing 😉 most especially Houda, surely we shall come back soon !!!!
This tour was recommended by my friends who came last year I loved the food and the cultural experience The guide was great
