This is Dubai's main wholesale market where restaurants actually buy their fish and vegetables. Massive warehouse-style building near Hamriyah Port that's completely different from the tourist markets.

Open from 4am and best visited early morning when the catch is fresh and vendors are setting up. You can buy fish, but it's also fascinating just to walk around and see the scale of it all. Bring cash and reusable bags if you're planning to buy.

Much more authentic than the heritage souks. This is where actual Dubai residents shop, not tourists buying overpriced spices and textiles.
