Waterfront Market

I visited Waterfront Market recently and really enjoyed walking around the place. It’s lively, spacious, and full of energy, but at the same time well organized and easy to navigate. There’s a great variety of fresh produce, seafood, meat, fruits, and spices, so even just browsing is interesting. What stood out to me most was the freshness of the products. You can actually see and feel the quality, especially in the fruit and seafood sections. Some vendors are happy to explain what’s best that day, which makes the experience more engaging rather than just shopping. The market feels clean and well maintained, considering how busy it can get. Prices are generally reasonable, especially when compared to supermarkets, and it’s a good place if you like choosing ingredients yourself instead of buying pre-packed items. I also liked the overall atmosphere—it feels local and authentic, yet comfortable for visitors. Whether you’re shopping seriously or just stopping by out of curiosity, it’s an enjoyable place to spend some time. If you’re interested in fresh ingredients or want to experience a different side of Dubai, Waterfront Market is definitely worth a visit.

As one of the biggest food markets in UAE, Waterfront is a must visit even if it's for the sheer novelty of the experience. From the fish market, to the vegetable market, to the dry fruits market... The variety of items available to buy is quite staggering, at very reasonable prices. And the quality is better than most chain supermarkets. Beware though, many shops are cash only.. Especially the fish market, where its 100% cash. We purchased some fish, dry fruits... Quality of the dry fruits was really excellent.

A really cool place, lots of fresh fish and seafood, you can clean your fish on site. I've seen over 100 types of seafood. I've been going to this market for over 25 years, and now it's a great place; you can really buy wild fish here. There's also a fruit and vegetable market next to this market, as well as a market where you can buy meat. Convenient parking.

Waterfront Vegetable Market is a vibrant and well-organized place for fresh produce lovers. The variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs available here is impressive—always fresh and reasonably priced. The market is clean, spacious, and easily accessible with ample parking. Vendors are friendly and knowledgeable, making the shopping experience smooth and pleasant. It’s a perfect spot for both bulk and daily shopping. A must-visit for anyone looking for quality and freshness in Dubai!

Waterfront Market is a great place if you’re looking for fresh fish and vegetables, and I really appreciate how clean and well organized it is compared to many other markets.The variety is impressive and you can find almost everything in one place. However, I do feel the prices are on the higher side. You almost always need to bargain and even then, it can still end up being more expensive than a normal supermarket, which is not ideal.That said, if freshness and cleanliness are your top priorities, it’s worth a visit just be ready to negotiate.

Nice and clean fish market, with everything reasonable price. You go pick your fish, then go clean, then go ask the restaurant to cook. You can seat in the waterfront side. Nice experience there.

The market has everything under one roof — fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables of all varieties. The fish section is amazing — super fresh, clean, and much cheaper compared to other places, with all kinds of fish available. However, the fruits and vegetables are quite pricey, even after bargaining. You might get a small discount, but the prices are still higher than elsewhere. Overall, it’s a great place for fresh seafood and meat shopping!
