Friday Market in Masafi — mountain village market 1 hour from Dubai
Drive into the Hajar Mountains to this daily market where locals sell pottery, carpets, and fresh produce. Completely different vibe from Dubai's air-conditioned malls — Dusty, authentic, and full of traditional crafts.
Best buys are handwoven rugs starting 100 AED, traditional pottery, and fresh dates. The mountain drive itself is scenic and Masafi has natural springs if you want to extend the trip. Market operates daily from around 7am-11pm.
Bargaining expected but don't be aggressive about it. These are local families, not souk merchants.
