McArabia
I just realized that I never wrote about McDonalds in Dubai.

I was thinking that last night as I was biting into my fries at the Mall of the Emirates. I love McDonalds fries.


And no, for the record they don't call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese a "Royal with Cheese" - as they don't sell the Quarter Pounder here.

They do have some other differences, though. First off they have the McArabia sandwich, which is is made of Arab bread, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and Arab sauce.

I haven't tried it yet, but the photo on the menu looks good.

But they also have McArabia Grilled Kofta.


Kofta is a Middle Eastern meatball of ground lamb mixed with spices and onions.

Not going to try that.

And to be fair to both political parties, I wanted to include this photo from Burger King:


Their new sandwich they are advertising is the Hammour Royale. If you couldn't guess from the Finding Nemo-esque logo, "hammour" is a type of fish local to this area.


Too bad they didn't include the little fishy in the "o" of "hammour", though.
