Waterfront Market – Dubai’s Premier Fresh Food Trade & Retail Destination The Waterfront Market is the largest fresh food market in Dubai a regional hub where seafood, meat, poultry, produce, dates, spices, and dry goods come together under one roof. Each day, the Market supports bulk trade, food-service supply, and retail purchasing, handling approximately 465 tonnes of fresh food, including around 250 tonnes of fish and seafood and 200 tonnes of fruits, vegetables, and dates. Since opening in 2017, the Market has sold over 565,000 tonnes of food products, of which approximately 456 tonnes comprise fish and seafood. Beyond retail, the Market serves as a vital node in the supply chain, supporting hotels, restaurants, airlines, and hypermarkets, as well as local families and specialty chefs. Its infrastructure enables direct unloading from traditional fishing boats (dhows), fresh-catch auctions, global sourcing from over 100 countries, and partnerships with more than 300 local fishermen all combining to deliver value, variety, and freshness to the UAE and beyond. Located just 100 metres from Dubai’s original Deira Fish Market, the Waterfront Market continues a proud legacy of trade and tradition while embracing modern retail standards. It is also a growing tourism destination, attracting visitors eager to experience Dubai’s authentic food culture, waterfront dining, and vibrant market atmosphere. The Market further plays a vital community role through its food education programmes with schools, helping young generations learn about nutrition, sustainability, and the journey of food from sea and farm to table. As Dubai continues its ascent as a global culinary and trade destination, the Waterfront Market stands as a symbol of scale, authenticity, diversity, and value a landmark where food trade, tourism, and education converge, and where food is truly as good as it gets.
