Take this chance to visit an Emirati house, with your host Maitha, who will introduce you to the Emirati hospitality, traditions and history. Once you step in the house, you will be welcomed with homemade Arabic coffee and sweets as you enjoy an intimate conversation about Emirati family life and habits.

Indulge in a sumptuous dinner of local dishes served the traditional way on the floor. You also get to try on some traditional Emirati clothes and learn about Arabic fragrances! You can take photos to document the whole experience. Simple souvenirs will be gifted to you by your generous host.

Kids & teens (ages 10-15) can join the tour at a lower rate. You can book them here.

"We enjoyed our experience very much! Maitha is the friendliest and most welcoming host, open to answering our many questions and giving us a good understanding of the Emirati culture. Dinner was very tasty and plentiful and learning about the perfumes and scents was fascinating. Shukran Maitha!"
