Dubai’s Ripe Market has been running for years and is super popular for a good reason. The Ramadan-themed version of this market will run every weekend from Friday April 16 until May Saturday 8 between 4pm and 10pm. Shop trinkets from plenty of local and homegrown businesses and then break your fast with something tasty from one of the fresh food stalls at the market. There’s lots to do for the little ones, from a bouncy castle to an outdoor cinema.
