English term or phrase: Emiriti
Hi friends:

I do not actually need an exact translation, but an explanation of the term will do. I am actually translating a file from English into Spanish and with a lot of typos in it I am having a hard time to find things on Google. The text reads as follows (copied and pasted, you will see what I mean by typos):

You will also have an exclusive opportunity to visit a traditional Riad House in the heart of the Bastikyia area where you will be taught to make traditional sweet Emiriti Delights and the art of Arabic calligraphy

Thank you kindly for your help!

Explanation:
Emirati delights
just a way to name some good recipe used in the Emirates, in this case sweet recipes :)


DESSERTS
No meal, be it traditional or contemporary, is complete without a sugary treat to satisfy that sweet tooth. Below are a few regional favourites:

Al Khabeesah - Many Arab nations have their own 'versions' of this dessert, but the Emirati variant is more crumby (as opposed to creamy) due to the presence of roasted flour and cashew nuts. This sweet dish is made from flour heated on a stovetop before the rose water, sugar, ghee and cardamom are added to contribute to this dish's distinct and warming flavour.

Al Khanfaroosh - Al Khanfaroosh is prepared from a mixture of flour, egg, sugar, yeast, cardamom, saffron and rose water. This aromatic mixture and left to rest, before it is divided into pieces and fried in ghee. The flour is sometimes replaced with rice, where the rice is washed and then left in the sun to dry after which it is finely ground before use.

Luqiamat - Round doughy dumplings of deep-fried batter, sweetly drizzled in date syrup.

The probable reason we're so unacquainted with traditional fare, is the lack of genuine Emirati restaurants here in the Emirates itself.
We have however hunted down a few hideaways in Dubai that do boast an original Emirati menu:
Bin Eid restaurant - Abu Hail (+971 (4) 266-3644)
Al Boom Tourist Village (+9715 (4) 3243000)
Local House – Bastakiya (+971 (4) 3540705)
So, the next time you're in the mood for 'Arabic,' make it a point to steer away from the generic for a change, and savour some of the more authentic Emirati delights.

I'd like to add that "Emirati Delights" is just a general way to name the very good food available in the Emirates. Sweets Emirati Delights identifies the sweet dishes present in the broader category of Emirati food :)

eg
The ­buffet offers a pleasing ­array of Emirati delights, from bajila and dango (broad beans and chickpeas), chicken freekha (with nuts and wheat) and fish assida, a porridge-like dish of fish and tomato. ­Magic indeed.

I think so, although I can't find the relation between sweets and calligraphy :$ Is this a magazine article or a guidebook? What is the riad house anyway? I live in the UAE and I am not sure what they meant by that!

Yeah, I think you are right. I am still uncertain about the connection between sweets and calligraphy :)

Asker: Thank you kindly, Ali, but the text I pasted above reads "you will be taught to make traditional sweet Emiriti Delights". Now that I come to think of it, in view of your answer, could it mean "traditional Arabic confectionery"?

agree  Shera Lyn Parpia: traditional confectionery from the Arab Emirates
9 hrs

agree  Craig Meulen: I've seen the spelling as Emirati .Or Shera's suggestion, in order to avoid the unfamiliar adjective. And just to clear up the grammar: here it is an adjective meaning 'from the UAE' and not a noun meaning 'person from the UAE' !!
10 hrs

agree  PRAKASH SHARMA: I earlier mistook it as 'Imarati- a sweet dish of northern/western India. But later on, looking at whole context, I changed my mind. Indian 'Imarti' is sweet in taste.
