EVERYTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AT TASTE OF DUBAI

Taste of Dubai is fast approaching, so we think it’s high time you start anticipating all the delightful bites you are going to fill up on at the festival! Each restaurant pop-up is offering a specially curated selection of 3-5 ‘taster’ dishes, so there will be plenty to try as you make your way around the festival grounds. 


Prices range between AED25-35 for signature dishes and exclusive Taste dishes, while kid-friendly dishes will set you back AED20 - meaning you can do the rounds and munch your way through some of the best and brightest of Dubai’s culinary scene, all with change for dessert. Put it in your calendar: from February 23rd - 25th, SkyDive Dubai at Dubai Marina is the place to be!

Whether you’re chasing the latest beats, or prefer chilled throwback acoustics, you’ll be toe tapping from day to night across 4 different music zones across the grounds. With 7 acts announced so far, we’re glad to see Truly Medley Deeply return for an encore - they had the crowd up and dancing non-stop at Taste of Abu Dhabi in November!

All this festival-going is thirsty work, so make sure to stop by one of the 8 bars on site and enjoy a beverage! 


You won’t just leave with a full belly: enjoy free samples, artisanal goodies, and plenty of stalls and vendors to peruse! The Taste Artisan Village will showcase some of the best local brands and up-and-comers in the UAE.
