t is summer! Now this is something that would make me very excited when I said that out loud in Europe. However, in The Middle East, not so much. But that doesn’t mean I want to lock myself up at home for the next few months. I still want to go out in my time off and that time I also want to spent with my dog. Luckily there are a few restaurants in Dubai that allow dogs inside. In the years I’ve been sharing my videos about dog friendly places in The UAE, I came across many more restaurants that allowed dogs inside. But unfortunately, there are a few restaurants that have decided to change their policy. A real shame if you ask me. But I’m still very happy to tell you about one of my latest findings; The XVA Café in Al Fahidi Neighborhood. This café at the historical art hotel XVA can be found in the oldest community in Dubai. Before known as Al Bastakiya, the Al Fahidi Neighborhood is the place where you can find the overall feeling of old Dubai. The café at this amazing hotel offers a range of Middle Eastern inspired vegetarian options that are served in their shaded courtyards where dogs are welcome. 26

The chirping of the birds and the rustle of the leaves makes you feel comfortable from the moment you step inside this beautiful café. Not only will you be able to find art in their galley, you can find several art pieces all around the hotel and café. There is a relaxed atmosphere which makes this experience even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, apart from this hotel, the Al Fahidi Neighborhood is not dog friendly. So security will ask you to walk straight to the hotel and not roam around. But if you’re staying over or would like to enjoy a walk before or after your visit to the XVA cafe, you can have a stroll alongside the Creek.
