Ripe Market is Back in Dubai!
The popular weekend market in Dubai, Ripe Market, has returned on October 10 at the Dubai Police Academy Park in the Umm Suqeim area.
In its fifteenth year of operation, it will host visitors every Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 9 PM until May 2, 2027.
At this market, you can explore the stalls of independent Emirati brands, buy handmade products, jewelry, artworks, home goods, and special gifts, and enjoy coffee, breakfast, street food, and sweets.
Local products and unique ideas are an important part of this year's market. From an organic farm in Al Ain to handmade bags made from recycled materials. Here, you can even find speakers made from recycled wood that amplify mobile phone sound without wires, batteries, or electricity.
There are also various programs planned for families; from an interactive zoo and children's pony rides to art workshops, a small train, a Ferris wheel, inflatable games, and magic shows and music performances.
Dubai Police will also be present throughout the season with a marching band, police dog demonstrations, and super luxury vehicles. Children can participate in special activities and meet program characters, including Officer Amna and Captain Mansoor.
If you prefer to spend your weekend more actively, free classes for yoga, Pilates, sound healing, and mindfulness will also be held. Swimming, paddle, tennis, horseback riding, football, rugby, and gymnastics are other sports activities planned for this season.
