A Fresh Market Founded on Heritage
Dubai’s trade history is intertwined with the sea, from early pearl diving expeditions to a bustling seafood industry. The Deira Fish Market, originally established in the 1950s, was a pivotal part of this legacy. Recognising the need for modernisation while preserving tradition, the Waterfront Market was inaugurated in 2017 to enhance the shopping experience while honouring and the roots of the market.
Today, it remains one of the region’s largest and most diverse fresh food markets, blending traditional souk elements with contemporary facilities.
