Dubai’s beloved outdoor market reopens this weekend and invites you to discover the city’s best homegrown brands
The Ripe Market is officially reopening at Dubai Police Academy Park this weekend, and it’s the perfect family-friendly attraction to plan your days around.
But rather than just opening on Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll now be able to visit the beloved community market every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with opening hours now from 3pm until 10pm each day. This opening weekend, that means The Ripe Market officially returns tomorrow, Friday April 24.

Plus, they’ll be welcoming visitors back for local shopping, family experiences and community spirit right through until May 17, giving you four weekends to head back to The Ripe Market Academy Park.
The Dhs5 entry fee has been waived too, making it a free-entry day out for the whole crew to discover some of the city’s best homegrown brands.
A long-standing favourite on Dubai’s weekend calendar, The Ripe Market has built its reputation around championing homegrown businesses, creative entrepreneurs and family-friendly experiences in an open-air setting.
Visitors can expect the much-loved mix The Ripe Market is known for, from artisan brands and curated food vendors to children’s entertainment, wellness experiences, the staple farmers’ market and a relaxed community atmosphere.
