Farmers’ Souq: buy fresh goods direct from Emirati farmers at new Dubai market – The National

Residents of the UAE can now get their hands on some unique and traditional products at a new pop-up market in town.

Dubai Municipality has just launched its first Farmers' Souq, taking place at Al Nakheel Park, also known as Palm Park, every Friday from 4pm to 11.30pm, until March. It is a free agricultural platform for Emirati farmers to sell their produce and wares, with the aim of supporting local projects.

The inaugural event was held on Friday. About 30 vendors gathered in the green space to sell a range of locally grown produce such as vegetables and fruits, honey, dates and herbs.
