There is a perception that vegetarians don’t have the same culinary experiences as meat-eaters because they don’t eat meat. If you’re visiting a country such as UAE, where the staple food is meat, you would definitely need a guide to help you avoid meat at all costs.
You can always find vegetarian food in whichever country you visit after exploring enough or researching beforehand. Here is a definitive list of all the places in Dubai you can dine, but on vegetarian food.
