Temperatures across the city have been consistently dipping with winter setting in. Residents are now spending more time outside to make the most of this year’s chilly season.
Location:
Deira may be a part of ‘old Dubai’, however, its charm is still alive with several open markets cropping up in the area. Open markets are perhaps one of the most popular ways for residents and tourists to spend their time outdoors.
Food Options:
From aromatic Indian chaats to Chinese hot pots and noodles, Filipino Balut, tempting Malaysian lok lok, and Arabic sheesh kababs, these markets cater to every craving. The aroma of diverse cuisines and various flavors hangs in the air surrounding the dining area.
But it’s not just about the food, these markets are a shopping sanctuary for bargain hunters. With clothing items starting at just Dh5, sunglasses at Dh30, shoes at Dh35, and earrings at Dh2, these markets redefine affordable fashion.
For tech enthusiasts, mobile accessories start at Dh10, and laptops and mobile phones are available to explore from a variety of products. “The most in-demand item for us is mobile accessories like cable strings, mobile covers, earphones, and screen guards,” said Marianne, a salesperson at the Karama pop-up market.
Decoration Items:
If you like fish and want some for your aquarium, you can get them at a good price. There are different types: goldfish for Dh25, black oranda for Dh20, red cap oranda starting at Dh20, black ranch starting at Dh30, and black moor fish starting at Dh5. So, if you enjoy having fish in your aquarium, you can start with just Dh5.
If that left you unimpressed, how about playing billiards and snooker in the open air? That is what most men are here for entertaining themselves in their regular gaming parlor. For those seeking entertainment beyond shopping and eating, the open spaces offer a variety of games. Carrom boards are available for a friendly match starting at Dh10 per hour, while billiards players can enjoy a game for Dh15 per hour. The open-air setting adds a unique charm to the gaming experience, making it a memorable time for participants.
Conclusion:
And that’s not the end of it, because if all the shopping and dining makes you tired and leaves you needing a break, there are massage chairs. For only Dh5, you can treat yourself to a 20-minute massage. It will make you feel refreshed and ready for more shopping and adventures.
