With social distancing guidelines in place, it's a great alternative to Ramadan bazaars that are popular during the Holy Month.

It has been put in place in partnership with the Department of Economic Development, and Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing.
