Vegan UAE: Plant-Based Food Guide

The UAE's Arab and South Asian culinary traditions give us a strong foundation: falafel, hummus, ful medames, baba ghanoush, and tabbouleh are all naturally plant-based and appear on menus across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and beyond. Dubai leads the region for dedicated vegan dining, with Jumeirah Lake Towers home to the highest concentration of plant-based cafés in the country. Restaurants across both emirates have added dedicated vegan menus at pace since 2022, and most international hotels now offer solid plant-based breakfast spreads - making it easier than ever to eat well without compromise.
