In the Morning Desert Safari, you'll take advantage of a carefully selected assortment of traditional breakfast options that are not just delicious but also tell a tale from the Emirates.
Balaleet
A stunning combination of savory and sweet Vermicelli with saffron flavor, topped with fried eggs. It's light, aroma, and a real breakfast staple.
Khameer & Chabab
Soft and fluffy Emirati breads, served warm with cheese, date syrup, or honey - Khameer is soft and frequently spiced with cardamom. Chabab is similar to pancakes, but with a regional flavor.
Regag
The regag is thin, crisp, and crepe-like in texture. Regag is usually cooked freshly at the camp and packed with cheese, eggs, honey, or fish sauce. A popular snack for locals.
Dango
A spicy chickpea snack is cooked and then served with a mixture of unique spices. It is superb for people who love strong, spicy flavor.
Dates & Fresh Fruits
A staple of every Emirati breakfast. Dates are treats to welcome guests and are often served alongside Arabic coffee. Seasonal fruits are served fresh by cut into slices.
Arabic Coffee (Gahwa) & Karak Tea
No Emirati breakfast experience can be completed without a Gahwa – light, cardamom-infused tea offered in tiny cups. Karak Tea, on the other hand, is milky, rich, and sweet, providing an ideal way to end the dinner.
The dishes are usually served on the traditional brass or woven plates, which increase the aesthetic and cultural attraction.
