Friday Market is a buzzling market in Fujairah where you can see shops on both sides of the road. This market was a scenic place which was surrounded by Hajar Mountains and valleys. This busiest market will work on all days. The Friday Market majestically lies on the Dubai-Fujairah road in Masafi which also takes lot of visitors to see Masafi attractions.
The Friday Market contains numerous shops selling fruits, vegetables, carpets, handicrafts, toys, pottery items and baskets. The open air Friday market on roadside is completely different from air conditioned shopping mall which gives the feeling of traditional Arabian market. The Friday Market is the only place where you buy fresh vegetables, fruits and even plants because of Masafi’s unique climate with oddly high rainfall. There are lots of handcrafted carpets, pottery items and baskets are available at very low cost.
Initially this market was run under the shades of trees, where Emirati farmers sell their produce. As years passed the market was extended and developed by great Shaikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, the Ruler of Fujairah. Today, the Friday Market becomes the great destination for window shoppers as well as regular shoppers. The Friday Market or Souq al Juma becomes more popular for its locally produced products.
This famous market is also having food stalls and cafeterias selling delicious local foods and drinks. The Friday Market is the only place where you can buy all the products at cheapest rates. Most of the visitors reach this place by car from Fujairah.
