2/19/24, 1:05 PM Dubai Municipality to launch Ramadan Souq tomorrow
The event includes a mini marketplace featuring a
traditional market offering various items and gadgets

essential for Ramadan preparations. It also offers special
products for celebrating ‘Hag Al Laila’. In addition, the event

provides various services, live entertainment shows, and
activities for children.

Dubai Municipality gives high importance to the
development of heritage sites and old markets within the

emirate. It channels resources and capabilities towards
organising a variety of entertainment, tourism, and

commercial events. These activities highlight the historical
and heritage significance of Dubai, reinforcing efforts to

support investors and attract investment.

Additionally, the Municipality is committed to providing

diverse and engaging attractions that contribute to the

overall attractiveness and quality of life in Dubai, solidifying
its position as an international tourist destination. By
launching Ramadan Souq, Dubai Municipality aims to not

only showcase traditional markets and their offerings but

also to safeguard the heritage and authenticity of age-old
customs associated with preparations for the blessed month
of Ramadan.

The municipality has set the timing of ‘Ramadan Souq’

between 10AM and 10PM.

Deira’s historical markets hold significant prominence as

traditional commercial hubs, dating back to the 19th century.
These markets have undergone restoration, rehabilitation,

and classification based on their types. Among them is the
Grand Souq in Bur Deira, famously known as the ‘Al

Dhalam Souq’ or Darkness Market, renowned for its diverse
range of products. Additionally, there is the Plates Market,

which offers kitchen essentials like pots and trays.
