Long Table Lunch

Dubai Food Festival 2016 is all set to be a departure from the previous years. It will see the first ever long table lunch for 1000 guests at a time, on February 26 this year. 1000 guests will be treated to a specially designed three-course meal at the long table lunch, a culinary revelry among the events in the schedule of Dubai Food Festival 2016.

Popular in Germany, the long table lunch is a communal event with a street party atmosphere for a large gathering in downtown Dubai. It provides room for great conversation, communal harmony and gastronomic revelry. It will celebrate the most popular Dubai food.

The Dubai Long Table Lunch menu is designed by award-winning chefs from the Palace Downtown Dubai, the Address Dubai Marina, the Address Dubai Mall, Manzil Downtown Dubai and Vida Downtown Dubai. It promises to be a family-friendly dining experience at the Dubai Food Festival this year.

Dubai Restaurant Week

Besides the long table lunch, the Dubai Restaurant Week is the first-ever event to be held during the Dubai Food Festival 2016. 30 of the best restaurants in Dubai are participating to offer their unique merchandise during the Dubai Restaurant Week from February 25 till March 5. The Ivy, The Croft, Rang Mahal, Kiku, Junoon, Okku, Sea Fu, and Yuan and Zheng are some of the participating Dubai restaurants.

Celebration of Hidden Gems

What is the most exciting about Dubai Food Festival 2016 is the celebration of “Hidden Gems,” which are lesser-known eating joints serving great food across the culinary landscape of Dubai City. Since Dubai houses over 200 nationalities, there are many restaurants serving good food from different cuisines, but they are not widely known. That’s why residents and foodies are invited to discover these hidden gems which the festival authority will shortlist the best 20 from.

Dine with Celebrity Chefs

It is a cherished dream of foodies among the events of Dubai Food Festival 2016. “Dine with the Stars” is a most-awaited evening of incredible food in company of celebrity chefs. Guest chefs will share their personal stories over food at five-star restaurants in Dubai. Chef Manal Al Alem, a Middle Eastern cooking expert from “Queen of the Arabian Kitchen”, will grace the event. Among other eminent guests in attendance are international celebrity chefs George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan, Matt Moran and Shannon Bennett from Australia.

In addition to all these, children below the age of eight can attend workshops and learn the craft of making art pieces on their own at the ArtZone between 12:15 pm to 1:30 pm.

The newly launched Wi-Fi service is of the highest quality so that residents and visitors can get quick access to Internet on their mobile devices in over 250 public locations. With the most advanced technology in place, this initiative is expected to encourage the UAE residents to adopt a digital culture through seamless Internet access in their day-to-day lives. Titled “UAE Wi-Fi”, it is all set to revolutionize the way people use Internet for different purposes across the country.

The mobile data customers of Etisalat, with subscriptions of 1 GB data package or higher, are entitled to use the public Wi-Fi service free of cost. The free Wi-Fi allowance is available from 5 hours to 30 hours of high-speed Internet connectivity, depending on mobile data package subscriptions.

All citizens of the United Arab Emirates can also have the facility to access and use unlimited Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi packages from Etisalat, an Internet service provider. They can use their local credit cards or recharge cards to pay for it. Validity of a Wi-Fi package starts right from the time a user first accesses the service.

Many public places like shopping malls, parks, airports, bus stops, etc. are equipped with high-tech systems so that people can access Internet-based services by connecting to the Wi-Fi network at these places. An SMS containing PIN number is sent to a user’s mobile phone upon registration. The user’s mobile number is supposed to be the login ID and the PIN received is the password. If the user is unable to access the free Wi-Fi service after successful registration, he/she should purchase one of the Wi-Fi packages to enjoy the privilege of getting unlimited Wi-Fi.

This innovative service would keep people connected with the world, streamline their daily needs, and set a new benchmark of public life, according to Khaled El Khouly, the Chief Consumer Officer of Etisalat. He also said that Etisalat would be providing a high quality Wi-Fi service without hassles of advertisements, pop-ups, etc. to the citizens.
