Everyone loves a good bargain and 2nd hand clothes that are in great condition. That’s why I love shopping at vintage stores, you get to find some great hidden treasures. In Dubai the closest we will get to a vintage store are flea markets!
I got the chance to go to my very first flea market that was located in JLT and boy did we enjoy going through everything. The atmosphere was great, very family friendly and perfectly shoppable! There were about 200 stands, if not more, of people trying to sell their unwanted goods and some that still had the tag on, WIN!The Dubai flea market usually is located in two locations Safa Park and Uptown Mirdif and they change up the last location from JLT to Ibn Batuta. People do tend to go to the flea market early just to grab all the good stuff and so I highly recommend you do the same.
What to find: Electronics, paintings, clothes, books and more.How much: 10 to 500 DHS – unless you can bargain!
When & Where: 1st Saturday of every month at Safa Park, gate 5, 8am-3pm; and the 2nd Friday of every month at Uptown Mirdif, next to Spinneys, 3pm-8pm.
