Dubai is known for being decadent, glitzy, and lavish. It is, after all, often referred to as the “City of Gold.” It still may be surprising, though, that the emirate’s vegan fare is equally impressive. Whether you’re in search of an elegant vegan dinner, high-quality vegan groceries, or even vegan desserts delivered right to your door, Dubai doesn’t disappoint. Take a look at a few of our favorite options:
