About Arabian Tea House and Cafe

A charming, award-winning heritage café in the historic Al Fahidi neighbourhood serving traditional Emirati breakfasts, Arabic teas, and light bites in a beautifully restored wind-tower courtyard.

The Arabian Tea House is a living piece of Dubai's cultural soul, set within the lovingly restored lanes of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood — the city's oldest surviving quarter. The open courtyard, draped in bougainvillea and furnished with traditional Emirati décor, is one of Dubai's most photographed settings. The menu celebrates the flavours of the UAE: karak chai, saffron-scented Arabic coffee, freshly baked khameer bread, creamy hummus, and the full traditional Emirati breakfast spread. A visit here is as much a cultural experience as a culinary one, and an essential stop on any Dubai itinerary.
