Festive Market ❤️ A must go place every Christmas season. Magical. Wonderful. Vibrant. One Happy Place.

Great place to unwind on this festive season. Shout out to the Abra staff in charge of the queue last 19Dec2023 around 20:30, be a little gentle! We were there to ask questions only and not thinking of getting free Abra ride! We were chased away while saying “GO NOT ALLOWED GO while we are explaining ourselves! Don’t be so rude you are carrying Jumeriah name!

An inside air-conditioned market for souvenirs. Very clean, organized and beautifully designed. Have a varieties of local products, gelato and restaurants. Would easily spend an afternoon there.

Gorgeous place with plenty of boutiques and restaurants. Love the view. Souk Madinat is a must-visit for those going to Dubai.

✅ Clean and comfy restrooms
✅ For souvenirs, I highly recommend shopping at Discover Dubai

The Souk is definitely something special over the festive season.

In the "winter" season, Souk is absolutely amazing. Nice little market, some great restaurants and pubs.

Great area to just walk around and relax.

Definitely worth it to go. Just grab a taxi. Much easier

Whether you’re looking for souvenirs, jewellery or something a little more decorative, this old-style bazaar is the perfect place to indulge in a little retail therapy. Inside, it’s an endless maze of tiny alleys and wood-framed walkways, with a colourful treasure trove of little stands and stalls that sell all kinds of clothing and local trinkets. Souk Madinat Jumeirah is less traditional than the souks you’ll see in the Old Town, but there are still lots of little touches that give a flavour of local culture; the wind tower accents and handsome Moorish design are the perfect homage to the heritage of an old Arabian market.

Really nice place but another tourist trap, so beware prices are high. Its still really nice and cool especially the canals. When the canals open back up for boat rides i recommend that sadly they didn’t open up yet, so if you’re coming for this well change your plans. Dont be fooled by social media lies.

The Madinat itself is great. It has great views and ambience. Some of the eateries are not what'd you'd expect in a place like this so do your research before you waste your money as there are way better places to have great food for what you'd fork over here.. Great for casual meet ups to enjoy the views. Can get a bit crowded on weekends and parking is a bit pricey.

A nice touristy market. You will find everything you are looking for over there. Just always remember not to pay the first price they give you for anything as you can take it for half the price at the end if you work your way to it. Nice place to buy gifts. They also got a nice collection of silver over there. You can easily spend few hours over there as you check the stores and grabbing something to eat.

A great place to bring your visitors out of town. Beautifully done..lots of brands and handycraft and tons of restaurants by the water. Best enjoyed in the moderate season.

Souk Madinet is for tourists, small stalls selling merchandise, a few shops. There are many restaurants and a very good Theatre.
It is pleasant to wander around and in the cooler weather you can take an Abra ride along the canal. There is a popular Belgian Cafe, The Meat Co. and also an Italian restaurant. Seating can be inside or out. There is also a Marina Furniture Shop, maps of the Souk are available, and necessary to find your way about the small aisles.  These can be found at the Theatre entrance.

Madinat Jumeirah is a really nice “fake” souk   It is a indoor type not a outdoor. They have decorations when there is a event for example Ramadan and Christmas decorations. Good type of shops with costa Coffee and Starbucks,nice cloths shops, a hotel! ( next door) rivers with boats but they are expensive! Staff are nice. When you walk around you see magazine racks you can take them home because they a free.(you pay nothing) make sure to come here. One of the places you DO have to go. Love the place. 😀

In my opinion, it's a great touristic place where you can eat really good food and find some souvenir. The environment it's self looks like the old markets. Overall it's a great place to spend some time if you are not doing the other amazing things you can do in Dubai or eat some dinner.

Large market style place but with mostly the same stuffing each stall. The view was incredible, being able to see the Burj Al Arab and dining by the river. The boat rides looked amazing and if you have dinner during happy hour there are many good deals - for vegetarians as well. We went on st Patrick's Day but still not super busy. Also one of the few dining areas you can reliably get good beef.

One of the top places you have to go in Dubai! Really beautiful and lots of things to do and see. Trader Vic's is one of my favorite spots. In the winter time, they host a German Christmas market that even sells mulled wine. 😍

Not really a genuine souk that one would expect from previous travels to places like Istanbul. This place mostly caters for clueless tourists and a lot of the wares are not very high in quality and very expensive. It is air-conditioned though which is a huge plus and provides a temporary escape from the searing heat outside. Check prices carefully. Some of the dining options are reasonably priced while others are not. We bought a couple of ice-creams at a stall in here and paid over $20USD.

Nice place for a walk and some shopping. If you have young kids they will get bored quickly. Lots of selection for restaurants. Some great outdoors seating areas. Pick a cool night and enjoy

I visited here in the afternoon, so it was very quiet as it does not become busy until the sun goes down and it is cooler. Be aware this is not a souk in the old meaning of the word, but it is a reproduction of what an old Arabic souk looked like architecture wise. It was filled with plenty of little shops and loads of nice restaurants and cafes.  You can sit in Costa Coffee  and see the Burj Al Arab in the distance too.

A delightfully different shopping experience. There are over 80 shops and 20 or so food outlets. Souvenirs and trinkets as well as more traditional shops, fashion, art, home accessories perfume and jewellery ... 
A great way to spend a day meandering the bazar like "streets" indoor and outdoor, alone or with family and friends. Or you can just come to have a meal in one of the many restaurants. When the weather permits it, sitting outdoors is most rewarding.
There is easy underground self  parking for those coming by car.
This souk is a must experience  for any visitor to Dubai.

We are definitely going back to this Souk.
I recommend the little boat trip. There is a great perfume shop in the Souk, we found the perfect gift. The guy was very helpful and did not get fed up with me trying different scent's.
There is something for everyone, it's very relaxed and romantic. Lots of restaurants to choose from.
Highly recommend it for a half day or more
