Food Trucks ! We’re suckers for street food so the Food Trucks would definitely be calling us! We love supporting local businesses, so are delighted to see some of the #FoodPreneur trucks we have featured will be there, and are also excited to see five International Food Trucks will be at Street Feast too!
Celebrity Chefs meet Afternoon Tea! Who can resist this perfect pairing! – various events, dates and locations. Sure to be instagram worthy as well as a sweet treat.
Desert, Sky, Sea & Golf – 4 different dining experiences at four very different locations, from an observation deck, the desert and a dhow, these all sound good fun.
