Meena Bazaar

Q: Do you need a booking to visit Meena Bazaar?

No, you don't need a booking to visit Meena Bazaar as it isn't a closed market but a retail-centric area of the city's historic Bur Dubai neighbourhood. It's much quieter when the stores and restaurants are closed, so it is best to visit during operational hours. .tb_button {padding:1px;cursor:pointer;border-right: 1px solid #8b8b8b;border-left: 1px solid #FFF;border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}.tb_button.hover {borer:2px outset #def; background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}.ws_toolbar {z-index:100000} .ws_toolbar .ws_tb_btn {cursor:pointer;border:1px solid #555;padding:3px} .tb_highlight{background-color:yellow} .tb_hide {visibility:hidden} .ws_toolbar img {padding:2px;margin:0px}

A hotspot for South Asian food, textiles, perfumes, spices, jewellery and handicrafts, the shops in Bur Dubai's Meena Bazaar are usually open daily, from morning until late at night. Popular stops like Meena Jewellers operate every day from 10:30am until 10:30pm

Q: What is Meena Bazaar famous for?

Located in Bur Dubai , and nestled between Al Fahidi Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road, Meena Bazaar is famous for its South-Asian inspired textiles, jewellery, handicrafts and meals – all for great prices. Among the streets here, you will find some of the city's oldest gold and textile stores. It's also a favoured shopping spot for the latest traditional fashion.

Q: What is the meaning of Meena Bazaar?

A market area for South Asian wares, Meena Bazaar harkens back to a shopping district in Delhi, India, while Meena in itself is a popular regional girl's name. Historically, the term refers to an annual fair hosted for women by Mughal emperor Akhbar. Aptly named then, the Bur Dubai bazaar is well-loved among shoppers or its traditional fashion textiles. .tb_button {padding:1px;cursor:pointer;border-right: 1px solid #8b8b8b;border-left: 1px solid #FFF;border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}.tb_button.hover {borer:2px outset #def; background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}.ws_toolbar {z-index:100000} .ws_toolbar .ws_tb_btn {cursor:pointer;border:1px solid #555;padding:3px} .tb_highlight{background-color:yellow} .tb_hide {visibility:hidden} .ws_toolbar img {padding:2px;margin:0px}
