Salt. Sand. And shawarmas. Three things that define life in the UAE more than almost anything else.

While meat, fish and rice are the staple foods of Emirati cuisine, often accompanied by sweet dates and Arabic coffee, the shawarma holds a very special place in the hearts of every UAE resident. This beloved Levantine street food sandwich, whether stuffed with meat, chicken or falafel, is the great equaliser of Gulf culture. Shared by Emiratis, expats and visitors alike, eaten at midnight after a long night, grabbed on the way to the beach or simply savoured because it is, without question, one of the greatest (and best value for money) sandwiches in the world.
