An ode to Dubai Creek…

Dubai truly knows how to spoil us for choice on the foodie front. We have an unending list of restaurants, which would take us 35.6 years to go through, and there are so many more on the way. One spot that needs to make its way onto your list (and into your belly) is Marsa Boulevard.

It’s not just a foodie haven, but a cultural one too. Amongst the vibrant mix of homegrown food concepts and carefully curated culinary experiences, expect fashion popups, artistry, immersive activations, and even an ever-changing lineup of workshops.

But you don’t have very long to go and try it out. Since it is a seasonal destination, the dynamic space will only remain open this year until mid-May from 4pm. On weekdays, it will remain open until midnight, and on weekends until 1am. It will reopen post-summer when guests can once again enjoy the cool Dubai Creek weather and views.

Ramadan vibes

Do note, if you’re visiting over Ramadan, you can expect menus designed for iftar or suhoor. Over Ramadan, it will be open from Monday to Thursday 6pm to 2am, and Friday to Sunday, 6pm to 3am.

At Slab, you can munch on halloumi samosas with hot honey, while Mara is serving up a shawarma salad, kibbeh bil laban and baklava strawberry. Pizza fans, can head to Blu Pizzeria for musakhan pizza and sweet tooth fans can head to Home Bakery for kunafa sticky date pudding, kunafa French toast, and umm ali.

Over suhoor, you can even bond with others over board games such as carom, UNO, Sequence, and Jackaroo.

Oh, and before you leave, make sure you check out Hessa Archive’s tribute to the creek alongside the waterfront.
