TENT JUMEIRAH RESTAURANT: This quirky Arabic restaurant is right on the beach in Jumeirah, and features traditionally decorated individual ‘tents’ complete with comfortable tables and seating spaced out across the sand, so that you can enjoy an elaborate Emirati breakfast within the shelter and privacy of your own family unit. Featuring an extensive menu of different Emirati breads and breakfast dishes, as well as fish and rice dishes and much more, the real selling point of this spot is its unique and picturesque setting, including the rustic, maritime-themed décor (think fishing nets and upturned dhow boats) and a gallery of old-school Dubai black and white photos dotted about. When the kids have finished eating they can dig about in the sand while you chat over coffee, and there’s even a small, if rather weathered, children’s play area beside the restaurant.
