Often claimed to be the world’s fastest-growing city, over the past four decades Dubai has metamorphosed from a small Gulf trading centre to become one of the world’s most glamorous, spectacular and futuristic urban destinations. The city is renowned for its playful contrast of old and new, which is also well represented in its dining scene where heritage-infused Emirati cuisine is celebrated alongside trendy international favourites.
