There’s nothing better than getting up early and heading to an outdoor market…
The winter season is just around the corner and that means it’s time to head outside again. Outdoor markets in Dubai are a great spot to head to over the weekend where you can browse unique products, fresh produce and much more.
Here are a few of our favourites:
Ripe Market
The beloved Ripe Market is coming back and will run every Saturday from 9am to 9pm and Sundays from 9am to 7pm at Dubai Police Academy. The Ripe Market comes alive with an array of stalls offering visitors everything from organic fruit and vegetables and freshly baked goods, to stalls that are bursting with colourful clothes, cute beach cover-ups, eclectic handmade jewellery, hand-painted artworks, crafts and more.
