Let us take you by the palate and lead you on a tour of taste…

Abu Dhabi has all the right ingredients to be regarded as a global gastronomic hub. A rich cultural diversity, a start-up friendly economy and residents with an adventurous palate.

Abu Dhabi Culinary Season allows the emirate to flex its foodie flair, with a host of special events. And this year the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has declared that it’s extending the season, with events spread out across a whole year.

Which is the news we needed to hear in 2020.

It’s all kicking off with the ‘Travel Through Food’ campaign, a summer full of epiglottic globe-trotting culinary exploration.
