    The food lover's guide to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)

    The United Arab Emirates (UAE), or simply the Emirates, is an exciting federation of seven emirates, or kingdoms, each ruled by a hereditary monarch. The UAE is not only one of the most vibrant places in the world, it's also a hotbed of passionate food bloggers. 

     

    Possibly one of the most unique nations in the world, the Emirates is comprised of only around 17% Emirati citizens. The rest of the population is comprised of immigrants who have moved to the nation for business and seeking work. This influx of new ideas and backgrounds gives the UAE one of the world’s most diverse cultures. So wherever you are coming from, you will fit right in.

     

    These are just a few of the outstanding food blogs coming from this great food lovers' paradise.
