Being in Dubai for 6 months now is actually a long time without Mansaf! Its ingredients are not as sophisticated as 'Cordon bleu' but its flavour is more than satisfying.
A few weeks ago I decided to go to the broadway SWAN LAKE show in the famous Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi with some friends, it was a hassle finding tickets but as expected the orchestra & the ballet dancers were worth every Dirham .... & those were many I must say.
Needless to mention that Abu Dhabi has a completely different style than Dubai & is just as beautiful.
After the show has ended, we were heading back to Dubai in the foggy weather- from humidity not from normal fog which is awful & needs a post by itself- we found Jabri! I yelled :'YAY JABRI let's go eat Mansaf!' Leila my fellow Jordanian friend, roommate & work colleague looked at me & said: 'oh my God Lara' .
How did she expect me to resist that yellow sign? (The chefs & owner are Egyptian ma ikhtalafna bas bardo it's still Mansaf!) To make a long story short we ate Mansaf at 12.00 in the morning & it was great :) Of course naheeka 3an inno lazem to share nuktet il Mansaf everytime I eat it.
What a weird combination of events, mansaf & ballet!
Lesson of the day:
You don't know the value of Mansaf............YOU DON'T!
Enjoy the pictures

Wallah ya Lara, you're welcome 3ala a7la Mansaf.
Almost every Jordanina blog has the word Mansaf in it, I guess it's something that is near and dear to our hearts :)
Am I? I think I'm just the Bee Bop. :P
Just figured, you're that girl from Crossroads, right? Well, not a bad performance, but don't take acting seriously please. :P
That's not the first I mention this, but I think Manaf is sooo overrated! :O
Hi Lara!
I had just discovered your blog! although it's been up for months. I'll be coming back often.
Just wanted to say hello, hope you are doing well!
I have no clue how can you think of mansaf while there is the Swan Lake! Isn't ballet the most incredible thing mankind ever made!
what is mansaf compared to the continuous practice of those ballerinas
Thanks Yousef, sorry for the late reply. Well I've been out of Dubai for a while now so I only know Jabri in Abu Dhabi:)
