Overview

This tour pairs a walk through Downtown Dubai with a food crawl, and its centrepiece is a stop at Atmosphere Burj Khalifa, where canapes and a VIP mocktail are served. You meet a guide from Secret Food Tours inside the Armani Hotel, then work through a set menu of tastings spread across the Burj Khalifa area, finishing at Souk Al Bahar in front of Dubai Mall. The whole thing runs about 3 hours.

The food itself ranges widely. Alongside Emirati staples such as freshly made hummus with Arabic bread, machbous, local dates, traditional Emirati coffee and camel milk, the tour includes canapes and a VIP mocktail at the Burj Khalifa bar, plus a black pepper beef xiaolongbao and a sweet and sour fried chicken from North-East China. There is also a sweet Secret Dish the operator does not name in advance. Water is provided.

Groups are capped at 10 travellers, and one reviewer described the guide as wonderful and the food as tasty, with plenty of the Burj Khalifa area covered on foot.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you decide whether this tour fits your plans.

  • Getting there. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you need to make your own way to the Armani Hotel at Burj Khalifa. The meeting point is inside the hotel hall, where the guide sits on the left sofa with an orange pillow. The venue is near public transportation.
  • Footwear. The operator asks travellers to avoid flipflops. You will be on your feet for much of the 3 hours, walking through the mall and the surrounding area, so comfortable shoes make sense.
  • Group size. The tour runs with a maximum of 10 travellers, as stated in the listing.
  • Dietary needs. The listing asks travellers to contact the operator in advance about any dietary requirement so they can cater for it as well as possible. The menu spans Emirati dishes, Chinese items, canapes and a mocktail, so it is worth flagging restrictions early.
  • Menu changes. The itinerary and menu can change based on location availability, weather and other circumstances. Treat the listed tastings as the plan rather than a guarantee.
  • Confirmation timing. Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Book with that window in mind if you are fitting the tour into a tight schedule.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, which matters given the amount of walking involved. Infants must sit on laps, and the menu and route can shift depending on availability and weather, so the exact tastings may vary from the published list. Gratuities are not included, and the operator notes they are highly appreciated. Hotel transport is not provided either, so you need to arrange your own arrival and departure.

All of these are included in the tour price.

Admission to Atmosphere Burj Khalifa is included, and the stop there lasts 30 minutes. The canapes and VIP mocktail at the top are part of the tour as well.

Can I Cancel If My Plans Change?

Yes, for a full refund you must cancel at least 24 hours before the tour's start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not refunded or accepted, and the cut-off times follow the local time in Dubai.

Is The Tour Suitable For Children Or People With Limited Mobility?

Infants can join but must sit on laps, and the listing says most travellers can participate. However, the tour is not wheelchair accessible, so anyone with mobility concerns should weigh the walking involved before booking.
