Dubai
This market features not only fruit and veg from local growers but also local honey, nuts, spices and eggs, plus arts and crafts, food stations and locally roasted gourmet coffee – pretty much all you need for a picnic under the palms.
The popular market has expanded to a second location with the Ripe Night Market held from 10am to 8pm every Saturday at Al Barsha Pond Park. From late April to mid-October, the stallholders move indoors to Times Square Center (9am to 3pm on Saturdays).
