Curated to bring the community together over the holy month
Have a long list of things to do in Dubai over Ramadan? Well, make space for one more because there’s a new Ramadan market coming to Dubai – Moonlight Market.
Moonlight Market at The Plaza in Uptown Dubai is the city’s newest evening destination, merging culture, food, and entertainment. You will step into a modern space inspired by Ramadan markets, complete with bold colours, illuminated outlines, and redefined oriental patterns.
Expect plenty of dining options, shopping spaces, creative workshops and even live entertainment. And you can enjoy the vibrant space under the stars while soaking in the last of the cooler temperatures. So, if you’re looking to come together with families, friends or even colleagues for an iftar post-sunset, this is a spot to consider.
For dining, you will have options such as Salt, Freat, Goodies, Desert and Chill, Lana Lusa and more. And if you’re a fan of shopping, you will be able to wander through a number of retail stalls from Ripe Market.
Oh, and if you want to insert a little friendly competition into the mix, there are board games available too. Pick from chess, checkers, Jenga and more.
The market will be open from 5pm until midnight on weekdays and from 5pm to 2am on weekends. You only have time over Ramadan to check it out.
