Al Zarouni pointed out that the initiative also aims to encourage young citizens to

set up their projects and display UAE household products in public places. This

aligns with the directives and vision of wise leadership, as well as the goals set by

the Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs. The overarching

objective is to offer comprehensive support to citizens and create opportunities for

the youth.

Al Zarouni said: “The remarkable turnout of Souq Al Freej in its second season

underscores the support and encouragement provided by Dubai Municipality to

neighborhood residents, fostering their initiatives and boosting confidence in their

domestic products. Not to mention the recreational activities accompanying the

market such as playgrounds and restaurants, which provided a unique leisure space.

This is part of Dubai Municipality's commitment to developing attractive gardens

and recreational spaces, contributing to elevated standards of well-being and

happiness for both residents and visitors. These efforts aim to continually enhance

Dubai's attraction and its position as a life-friendly city.”
