Dubai has a truly extensive choice of great international restaurants. Most of them are located in the larger hotels. Many visitors find it hard to beat dining on the deck over looking The Creek at Vivaldi in the Sheraton. (top right)
Lebanese or Turkish cuisine is to be found on most local menus. In addition, there are inexpensive Indian and Pakistani restaurants readily available. American fast food chains have outlets all around town and in the many shopping malls.
If you feel of need to be any closer to the water, have dinner on one of the many 'dhow' restaurants that cruise The Creek. (lower right)
