Al Ain’s Souk Al Zafarana, situated about 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi, is a jewel of a find, reflecting true Emirati culture and tradition in a modern setting. Whether you’re looking for traditional garments, incense, spices, henna, oud, or dallah (Arabian coffee pots) this is the marketplace for you.

Souk Al Zafarana is the new home of Al Ain’s old souk and features Mubdia Village, a section exclusively for women and staffed by female shopkeepers. Around the corner from Al Jimi Mall in Al Ain, the souk is open 10am to 1pm and 8pm until midnight.
