Discover the roots of the waterfront market

A Legacy of Trade, Culture, and Freshness

The Waterfront Market in Dubai stands as a testament to the city's deep-rooted history in commerce, fishing, and culinary excellence. Established as a modern successor to the iconic Deira Fish Market, the Waterfront Market continues a tradition that dates back decades, ensuring that both locals and visitors experience the finest and freshest produce in a vibrant, state-of-the-art environment.

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.
