The annual ‘Ramadan Souq’ returns on Saturday, February 17, at the historic Old Municipality Street in Deira. Organised by Dubai Municipality, the souq is a tradition in Dubai that celebrates the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan Souq will run until March 9 – open daily between 10am and 10pm – offering various items and gadgets essential for Ramadan preparations. Shoppers can find personal and household essentials and there will also be special products for celebrating ‘Hag Al Laila’ as well as events, live entertainment shows, and activities for children.
Dubai Municipality said ‘Ramadan Souq’ is organised annually not only to support tourism and commercial activities, but also “to showcase traditional markets and safeguard the heritage and authenticity of age-old customs associated with preparations for the blessed month of Ramadan.”
