Explore fresh food, diverse crafts and family-friendly entertainment at weekly Ripe Market events. The outdoor markets take place every Saturday and Sunday at a range of scenic venues during Dubai's winter months – with a flagship location at Police Academy Park. In the summertime, the pop-ups go indoors and are typically hosted at malls like Times Square Center. The market is all about fostering a thriving community and has something for everyone, with workshops, live music, fitness classes, educational activities and a petting zoo for the kids.

A trip to Dubai isn't complete without a trip to the famous Gold Souk, one of the oldest and most fascinating traditional markets in the emirate. Whether you’re just browsing, or genuinely on the hunt for precious gold, walk through the glittering bazaar to find inspiring designs from around the world, crafted in a variety of carats.
