Dubai summers can be brutal. Step outside and you’re basically in an oven with skyscrapers. But here’s a surprise: The Real Karak in Jumeirah has come up with a snack that actually makes the heat feel… well, not so bad. And no, it’s not another iced latte. It’s a watermelon sandwich stuffed with feta cheese.
Dubai’s Viral Watermelon Feta Sandwich: Cool & Just AED 8
Sounds odd? Maybe. But hear me out. The sweetness of the watermelon and the salty creaminess of feta just click. It’s like a food version of that friend pairing you didn’t think would work but somehow does. Best part? You only need AED 8 to try it. In Dubai, that’s less than your parking fee.
The Summer Hack Nobody Saw Coming
It’s not just cheap. It’s clever. Watermelon is juicy, crisp, summery. Feta brings in this bold, savoury punch. Together, they hit that sweet-salty spot humans weirdly love (think fries dipped in milkshake, don’t pretend you haven’t tried it).
Why People Are Obsessed
The sandwich has already gone viral, and honestly, it makes sense. After all, watermelon screams summer, and feta has always been the cool kid on the cheese board. Mash them together and suddenly, you’ve got a refreshing snack that feels both healthy and indulgent.
Oh, and if you do pop by, don’t sleep on their jackfruit and tender coconut ice cream. At AED 12, it’s basically a tropical holiday in a cup. Pair it with the sandwich and you’ve got the ultimate one-two punch against Dubai’s ridiculous heat.
More Than Just Instagram Prop
Now, let’s be real. Viral foods can be a hit or a complete gimmick (looking at you, rainbow bagels). But this one? It actually delivers. The flavour combo works, and it’s not just a pretty face for your TikTok feed.
There’s something nostalgic about it too. Remember biting into cold watermelon slices as a kid, juice dripping everywhere? This sandwich feels like that, only grown up, with cheese. It’s comfort and novelty at the same time, which is why people can’t stop talking about it.

At the end of the day, it’s not about reinventing fine dining. It’s about joy, really. A quick bite that makes you smile, cools you down, and gives you something to tell your friends about. For AED 8, that’s a bargain in Dubai.
So next time you’re in Jumeirah, skip the overpriced iced latte. Grab the watermelon-feta sandwich instead. It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and honestly, it’s the kind of snack that just makes summer a little easier to survive.
