From Yas Marina Circuit, our driver took us to the Iranian Souk at the Mina Port Zayed after we did a short stop at Abu Dhabi vegetable & fruit market. As the name implies, you’ll find vegetable and fruits aplenty. They are mostly wholesalers but you’ll still find stalls that sell directly to consumers. You’ll also find plenty of shops that specifically sells only dates.
Abu Dhabi vegetable & fruit market. Nothing cultural here, just a market.
The varieties of fruits sold here.
The specialty dates shops. Choose the variety and what your wallet fancy.
A 5 minutes drive from the vegetable & fruit market, you’ll reach the Iranian Souk. Here you’ll find almost everything under the sun for your household need. From firewood to pots to lawn chairs. Originally most of the products sold here come from Iran and neighboring countries but many Chinese made products are also available.
Where you’ll find anything you require for your household needs.
Rolling pin, baking pan, kitchen mortar and pestle, ladle and what not.
Silver kettle, golden kettle, multi colored kettle, tea pots, food containers ….
Plates, pots, water coolers ……
