Waterfront Market (Arabic: سوق الواجهة البحرية) is a fish, vegetable, and meat market in Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1] The market opened in 2017.[2] It is located on the Deira Corniche near Hamriya Port[3] at the junction of Al Khaleej Road and Abu Hail Road.[4] The market covers over 120,000 square feet and replaces the old Deira Fish Market.[5]

Goods include dates, fish, fruits, honey, meat, spices (e.g., baharat, dukkah, ras el hanout, saffron, and za'atar), and vegetables.[3][6] There are restaurants on the waterfront at the market. The market supports sustainable fishing and farming.[4] It also supports a Murals and Art Competition.[7] A Dragon Boat Championship is held on the waterfront at the market.[8][9] The market has special events during Diwali.[10]

By 2022, the market had 50 million visits since 2017.[11][12]
