The food truck movement that started it all is back!  As the weather starts to get cooler, Truckers DXB is all set to drive around the Emirates and serve delicious meals from around 60 food trucks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi starting 1st November until 23rd December.

 

The third season promises new, additional fun elements to the concept.  In addition to a roster of homegrown food trucks serving authentic dishes put together in a ‘backyard party’ experience in Emirates Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club, guests can get meals on wheels from different parts of town while enjoying a carnival environment at Ibn Battuta or watching the sport of kings along with the elite at Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club.  The group will also be present at Abu Dhabi Food Festival, a city-wide gastronomic feast organised by Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture.

 

“Every season, we try to bring new elements that our guests can look forward to. We’re all about creating new concepts and must-visit places that residents and visitors alike will be excited to experience. Thanks to the synergy with like-minded people, who have the same aspiration like ours and are committed to nurturing homegrown talents in the UAE, we are very excited to open season 3 with our new partners,” said Alexandre Teodoresco, cultural entrepreneur and founder of TruckersDXB.

 

Participating food trucks are: Calle Tacos, Swag, The Shebi, Casa Latina, Kono Pizza, Wingsters, Frings, Hotboxx, Wokinaki, Tandem, Sirloin & Sons, Moshi, and Yumtingz, to name a few.
