Frying Pan Adventures

Fifteen ladies were part of an Abu Dhabi public art and street food tour guided by Arva and Soumia. Their enthusiasm, knowledge of hidden gems, laughs, tips for trying tasty street food were wonderful and appreciated Thank you for a great time, we sure will be back to some of the authentic cuisines.

My wife and I took a tour of old Dubai with Frying Pan Adventures and we had so much fun. Arva was a fantastic guide and curated a great sampling of food from the old Dubai and old Souk areas we explored. We loved learning about Dubai's history and about its diversity of cultures. I would highly recommend Frying Pan Adventures if you are thinking of taking a guided tour while visiting Dubai!

I'm not sure where to begin with how good this tour was. Camila was our guide. She was friendly, warm, paid attention to the various needs of our large group. The walk around she did was conversational, rather than tour. She made us feel like she was a friend showing us her favorite places. The stories of the food and the city added to the comfort of the tour. The food spots were outstanding, and the people in each shop were excited to have us there. That's the sign of a good community based tour, when your partners are happy to receive your guests. It screams relationships, not transactions. I've been recommending this "tour" company to everyone. I'll also do this tour again and any others they offer. And I have the names of the food places to go back to again and again.

We booked the the culinary/cultural tour some years ago and again and this time a Dinner at an Emirati home organised by Frying Pan Adventures. We love the reliable service and the great authentic experience, it was awesome and unique. It really enhanced our vacation in Dubai, having the chance to go "off the beaten track". We highly recommend Arva's and Farida's company and you can be sure, we will book a tour again in one of our upcoming trips in Dubai.

We took the Public Art Abu Dhabi Tour and it was outstanding! Come hungry as you will be served food from around the region and see the vibrant Madinat Zayed neighborhood Each tasting is delicious as well as a speciality. Highly recommended when in Abu Dhabi

Had a phenomenal Dubai Mall food tour with Farida! I've lived in Dubai for years, but she introduced me to new and delightful hidden gems I wouldn't have discovered on my own. Highly recommend!

I can highly recommend this tour! It was great to see the less discovered Dubai with a local! Farida was very knowledgeable and shared her unique experiences of growing up in Dubai and how important food is to culture. A definite highlight to our stay in Dubai! Thanks Frying Pan Adventures!!!

Whole heartedly reccomended! My team and I recently booked a private food tour for 8 folks because we LOVE food, how it ties into a place, history, and people. Communicating was easy, fast, and pleasant. Farida answered my many questions via WhatsApp before I booked, and even helped me change the date of my reservation when I realized a day later I had made the booking for a week earlier. The food tour itself was delicious. I am sure we would never have the opportunity or know to look for many of the places we visited. It was very difficult to stop from pace ourselves throughout each stop because everything was SO good. The tour was a good balance of eating, walking to digest, interaction and stories about Dubai and other cultures, while allowing us enough room to take in the sites around us, sit with our food, and talk as a team. It was our favorite part of the trip and I can not recommend joining in the food tour and eating through the city. One thing I love about Frying Pan's Food Adventures is that they're also make sure that any extra food is not thrown away, but set aside where it can uplift someone else's day. Thank you so much for everything! We created memories, I'm sure we'll hold on to for a long, long time.
