What is the market interesting for tourists?
How many years is the fish market in Dubai? Perhaps, nobody will answer this question. It existed from the moment of the formation of the settlement here, but in this place, it is not known. But Deira, where the market is located, is one of the oldest districts of Dubai.
The market, in fact, is a giant pavilion, where everything that can be caught in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean is sold. Here you can buy not only fresh fish, but also dried and dried.
To look here follows not only on the sides, but also under the feet: the fish market in Dubai has very original floors: in some places under the transparent coating the greenish sea water splashes.
Be vigilant: people with wheelbarrows, so-called "assistants", are on duty on the market, whose task is to impose their services on buying purchases.
In the bazaar you can also buy vegetables and fruits - there is a separate mini-market, located not directly on the territory of fish. A large grocery market is located nearby, where you can buy fresh vegetables, meat, spices. And there is also a small restaurant Grill and Shark, where you can order dishes from freshly purchased seafood, and already with them to go home.
Find a fish market in Dubai on the map is easy: it is located almost on the coast to the northeast of the city center, and through the narrow strait from it is Front - one of the islands of Deira .
