Mid-January in Dubai means one thing: Ramadan is on people’s minds. If you’re ready to ease into that mood, Ramadan Souq in Deira is a good place to start. It opens on January 17 at Old Municipality Street Square in the Grand Souq area. The market stays in the neighbourhood for 25 days, giving visitors time to spend a few unhurried evenings in one of Dubai’s oldest trading districts.
Ramadan Souq in Deira centres on everyday shopping and long-standing customs rather than trends or spectacle. Expect stalls selling food items, personal goods, and seasonal essentials. Many of the stalls are run by shopkeepers who have worked in the area for decades.
Live performances will give the souq a special rhythm this year. If you’re coming with family, children can join activities and workshops set up just for them.
More pop-up markets and details will be announced over the coming weeks, giving you extra reasons to return.
Ramadan Souq is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, making it simple to drop by whether you prefer daytime browsing or an evening stroll through Deira.
And no worries! After Ramadan Souq in Deira wraps up on February 15, Dubai moves on to the next celebratory chapter. Season of Wulfa will follow right after and bring a full month of 50+ tradition-focused events and experiences until Eid Al Fitr.
Stay tuned! More events, markets, and cultural updates are on the way.
