Souk Al Bahar

Experience the charm of old-world Arabia, embark on an incredible culinary journey, enjoy unique shopping, and view iconic Dubai landmarks at Souk Al Bahar. Blending the classic with the contemporary, Souk Al Bahar’s ‘sailor’s market’ is a step back in time to the wonder and allure of old Arabia.

Situated in the heart of Downtown Dubai, the lively and enchantingly Arabesque marketplace offers enthralling shopping, entertainment and dining experiences in intriguing contrast to nearby The Dubai Mall, connected via a bridge that spans the breadth of Burj Lake. Souk Al Bahar features over 100 shops and 22 restaurants, cafés and lounges, most of which are situated along the waterfront promenade on the fringes of Burj Lake, offering impressive views of both the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain.

Showcasing beautiful natural stone alleyways, lofty archways, atmospheric lighting and Arabian-themed decor, Souk Al Bahar’s many shops are home to intricate tapestries, plush carpets, authentic handicrafts, eclectic jewellery, culturally-inspired fashion, heady perfumes, furnishings, books, art and more. You’ll also find conveniences like ATMs, money-exchange houses, and grocery stores seamlessly weaved into the marketplace’s charming fabric.
