Dubai's more popular touristic side has so much to offer,
and we were excited to experience it, but it was Old Dubai's historic roots that captured
our hearts all while discovering some really delicious food along the way.
This place is apparently the first place that started making Camel Meat, so we're very excited
about it and the decoration & design is so nice!
Just a little proof Gokce was not lying it's printed right here on their menu
and their menu is actually really cool, it's like a newspaper almost, and on top of it it shows you like what United Arab Emirates people actually eat like a lot of
seafood as well, it gives you a little bit of the culture as well as providing you an opportunity
to eat traditional foods including the camel burger!
Burger's here! Look at that guy! Oh my god...
It looks like a regular hamburger, cheeseburger of course, it's like a little thicker & chewier than regular cow meat for sure.
Super delicious, I would absolutely recommend trying camel burger when you make it to the UAE and I'd have another one if I could...
Leave some for me! My new friend is here to witness my first experience... All right, that looks so good... Look at this!
I really like it, unlike regular red meat, it's more tender it's just like a more chewy or like Steve said.
I agree, it's not like as lean as regular burgers maybe that's why...
Just got to keep chewing!
Yeah, well, that's what camels do too right? They keep chewing.
In 2020, we got to try kangaroo burger and now camel burger.
I'm gonna be honest, I think camel meat is much better than kangaroo meat.
I don't know if I would have kangaroo burger again but camel burger. I'm sorry I think I'm going to have it again.
We're heading to old Dubai in Deira and the easiest way to get there from Bur Dubai is to take an abra,
which is an old traditional style boat.
It's very clean and very nice actually I really like this one!
So we're on a mission to find the gold in the spice souk here in old Dubai,
but for anybody who's interested in getting their forks and knives game on,
there's a utensil souk, right behind us!
Crazy, I kind of want to check it out!
I'm from Turkey, I know Safran,
Turkey - Welcome (In Turkish)
Thank you (in Turkish)
We say Sumak as well.
Sumak is also from Turkey.
There's for Aladdin? Alibaba!
So far unfortunately we haven't seen any utensils here, the most interesting thing is actually
it doesn't seem like there are many tourists here which is sad to see how empty this is
because I'm sure it's usually much more crowded, but Corona times....
This whole time we were looking for the Herb Souk and whomever we asked where is the spicy herb souk, they go oh here we have some herbs
but we were actually trying to get here so I'm very happy we found here!
What do you drink on a daily basis in Dubai as a tea?
some people just drink the Karak tea, this is the tea with milk already and we have also Arabic tea, it is strawberry with raisins with some strawberry between a lot of herbs inside
How do you make it though?
Boil it with hot water. that's it!
okay
so I will invite you some Arabic tea!
Thank you, that would be great!
It's interesting to see how tea culture changes from country to country...
This is Arabic tea with milk, they call it Karak tea!
Ah it smells so good! I love it, okay...
It's milky, it's sweet, and it smells so good!
Is there any caffeine in this?
No, just plain.
It can't wake me up...
Do you like Camel or Aladdin's lamp?
I like the camel!
Take it one!
Aw, thank you so much! This is really nice.
okay i like this a lot
When you go with your husband to the Gold Souk, he will buy one diamond for you and he will put it in this.
Steve, did you hear that?
Yeah...
Good idea yeah?
Yeah, I love that idea!
They definitely get a little bit more aggressive as you get to the Gold Souk, for sure,
but the Gold Souk reminds me more of the Grand Bazaar
I think I found an outfit to wear for the New Year's night! what do you think Steve?
They may, uh, kick us out of the hotel, but...
Kind of like the weird bow tie thing going on there, gotta start saving for it now though...
okay changed my mind, I'm gonna go go with this one! Fabulous. like a queen!
Gokce is excited because she's finally found her first ever street cat here in Dubai!
I know!
They're all camel milk! I've never had anything with camel milk before!
Which one gives the most...
This one is saffron and pistachio!
Don't get me wrong, ice creams are so delicious
but if you didn't tell me that it's camel milk,
I would have never realized any difference!
We're off to find Gokce's most excited thing for this whole...
Coffee Museum!
...historical district yes the coffee museum, she can't even wait!
We just made our first friend in Dubai, Mahmoud, and I was just asking him...
Why some people from Dubai wear this traditional costume and some don't?
Actually, this white long dress called Kandura, and this is an official dress of Emirati people,
but we never mind to wear the casual dresses, when we are going for to do sports or to go hang out anywhere
we don't mind to wear the casual dress of course we are proud of our dress!
It looks very elegant, I really like it.
Thank you! This is the culture and the habit here
Steve and I, we drink a lot of coffee so it's very interesting for us to see this historical coffee machines
from all over the world!
I feel like this would be right up Peter Mckinnon's (YouTuber) alley...
Coming here, you pay 10 Dirham, you're getting to see the coffee museum and having coffee!
Perfect deal for me!
I know we're in Dubai, but I want to try the Ethiopian coffee because the whole point of
coming to a coffee museum is trying different things, right?
I like it, it's pretty smooth!
I am not in love with it...
...but I like it!
We wound up getting another coffee on the house.
Arabic coffee this time. and Arabic coffee comes with dates which is pretty awesome!
It's very light, light and nice, I like it! (They also had Turkish cofffee)
We're gonna explore more of the souk a little bit, the old souk here in Dubai and then we're going
to go grab a traditional dinner I think tonight!
Arabian tea house maybe?
Oh yeah, let's do that! Yeah!
all right lets do that!
All these souks kind of start to blend into one another
I'm sure the time they were all very distinct but now it's kind of like all the same stores that you could see in one souk
cluttered into the same souk in a different spot
I like it! What is in it?
Samosas with onion... chicken... potato...
What's in this one?
This one with onion veggie
Ahh, onion!
Very tasty!
Which one are you buying?
We just got mixed!
Mixed! Yes!
yes yes yes!
Thank you!
So we were going to go to Arabian Tea House tonight for dinner but now...
We have a giant bag of samosas, so we're going to go chow down on that and save the Tea House for another night!
Exactly, woof!
Just 10 Dirham ($2.72 USD)! It's incredible how much food we got!
Old Dubai is certainly very different than the glitz and the glamour of the new Dubai,
and we feel so far that it's been a worthwhile experience to come and explore over here!
So we made it back in time for sunset at the old town, we're going to hop on an abra now
60 dirhams ($16 USD) for a 30 minute (private) abra right here on the Dubai Creek and if you rent it with
friends it makes things much more affordable!
It looks amazing at sunset, check it out!
It's so beautiful! If you come to Dubai, this is one of the experiences you would like to
have, because by the sunset all the colors the pink the yellow the blue everything is intertwined and
it's really giving the old town vibe at the best level!
We are on our little guy(GoPro) today, because you can't film with a professional looking camera in here.
We're super happy because we heard many amazing things about Arabian Tea House.
He tried to make me order kebab, but I said I'm from Turkey!
We're trying Harees which is a traditional Emirati food it's bulgur mixed with wheat and meat or chicken usually.
We're getting it with meat tonight, then we're also ordering falafel because they said it's actually really
really good here and we have to try it!
and finally, we're getting the Tahta Laham, which is going to be tender shredded lamb, another Emirati special cooked with Emirati spices
Meet Ahmed, he said this drink is just for me
Especially, especially for you ma'am!
it's fresh bread also oh nice
Take one with falafel now yallah! (Let's go in Arabic)
Oh now? Yallah! Yallah!
Try it madam!
Okay...
So good!
Thank you!
Enjoy it madam!
They are really good stuff! Really good! I like it, I like it a lot!
Ahmed did not stir us wrong, that Tahta Laham, oh
that's good Steve is so excited!
I really like that lamb...
For you madam, this is traditional food in Arabic Tea House.
Traditional!
Can never try that one before just only in Arabian Tea House!
Thank you Ahmed!
Thank you madam!
See you later!
We're really glad that we found out about Al Seef, it's historical buildings that they reconverted into
shopping and art sites here in the old Dubai area. They really did a great job of making it seem like
the heritage which was really restored here and it has this beautiful location
right on the water where you're looking across to Deira, and of course the abra boats that come
and pass by the seagulls...
It's really kind of a magical thing here
This is khalas dates!
Khalas dates
I really like it!
Thank you these are delicious!
Oh that was such delicious dates!
So we came here to falafel and shawarma because shawarma is apparently a big food here in the UAE
They have it Arabic style, Arabic style spicy!
Of course I want to go with Arabic style spicy...
Are you gonna go with that too?
I think so yeah, that sounds like perfect
this is gonna be one of the more affordable food options that you could have
the small swarm is only 5 dirham ($1.36 USD), whereas the big shawarma is actually 10 dirhams($2.72 USD)
I see my chicken here, a little bit spicy but not the spicy level Steve and I always prefer to have...
but is it good?
Pretty good!
I really like this as you can see I've eaten just a little bit of it, but I will say, it's definitely
different than the shawarma we've had in the US, but this is really good
Spices are different, it's prepared a little bit different I guess that's just cultural thing for the USA to prepare
it in a little bit of a different way for an American audience!
But it still tastes really good, I love it!
yep thumbs up for falafel shawarma!
We are going to finish up here in old town it's really beautiful really different side of Dubai
and we're going to continue showing you more of Dubai, but we're going to head in for tonight.
