The Waterfront Market: Dubai’s new destination for fresh quality food
dubai — Dubai is a city that takes centre stage in the global food movement as people search for a truly gastronomic experience made from fresh and excellent quality food. The Waterfront Market is at the forefront of this trend, rapidly gaining popularity among residents and citizens shopping for fresh food.
The Waterfront Market, a 120,000 square metre facility, opened its doors to the public in June 2017. This purpose-built facility is designed to ensure quality and freshness, value for money and convenience for retailers and consumers alike. Located at the intersection of Al Khaleej Road and Abu Hail Street on the Deira Corniche overlooking the Deira Islands, the Waterfront Market has dedicated sections including fish and seafood, fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, and dry goods including spices, nuts, and honey all under one roof.
The Waterfront Market brings a new concept in fresh food retailing and innovates on the traditional concept of a public market. The complex provides the comforts, convenience and cleanliness that customers have come to expect including ample below-ground parking, fully air-conditioned facilities, world-class hygiene standards and maintenance, supplementary retail and service outlets as well as bestin-class supply chain, delivering a variety of products at advantageous consumer prices.
Mohamed Khamis Maktoom Al Shehhi, mall director of Waterfront Market, said: “When we look at fresh food, quality is critical. There is no question as to the importance of freshness. It provides nutrition and goodness to the body — from taste to health benefits, not to mention the benefit of reducing the carbon footprint associated with packaging and food processing.”
In addition to the fresh food markets, the Waterfront Market hosts more than 50 retail outlets to cater for shopper’s daily and lifestyle needs.
