Located at the Marina Walk, behind the Dubai Marina Mall, the Dubai Marina Market is widely famous for vintage accessories, handmade souvenirs, art, photography, and fair-trade goods. Many people would prefer to visit Dubai Marina when the weather is cool, and this usually goes from November to April. The weather would be good enough for the tourists to stroll around the outdoor market and find things they’re looking for, including street food. For example, the Jamaican Mosa from My Mosa, that takes a twist on the classic samosa and makes it even more delicious. The market is also famous for the Mexican shawarma from Shami Gourmet. You will be surprised at the extra ingredients that you can get and also the mixture of middle-eastern and Mexican taste.
