Instagram Brought These Foodies Together in Dubai and the Result Was Delicious

Worldwide InstaMeet 14 took place the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, where tens of thousands of people around the world teamed up to explore, share and celebrate this edition's 'food' theme.

Dubbed #WWIM14🍴 on social media, the gathering aimed to connect people through their love of diverse dishes and create new friendships while strengthening older ones.

In Dubai, users of the platform - which recently introduced Instagram Stories - started out with a home-style meal of traditional Emirati food before moving on to explore the desert.

The gallery shows some of the stunning images participants captured during the meeting described as "unforgettable" by one Instagrammer.
