Unseen Trails: Naif by Night

Weave through one of Dubai’s oldest neighborhoods in search of hidden cafes, teeming streets and the perfect cup of karak chai. You will be guided by two passionate residents - one who is a local food and culture expert, the other who is a professional photography instructor. Capture the crisp, blue skyline just before dusk, and watch in wonder as the neighborhood’s unique nightlife unfolds with its smoky Ethiopian cafes, crowded Chinese shops and piping hot Afghani bakeries.

With our appetite for spontaneous, street side adventure and portraiture satisfied, we will settle ourselves at one of Naif’s culinary gems to break bread over a slow-simmered stew that is not only a carefully-guarded family secret, but has garnered its own cult following over the last three decades. Together we will share this mouthwatering meal while exchanging our favorite photographs and encounters of the day.
