Our reporter Thais Sousa described a tour in the Ripe Market in Dubai. The visit reveals pleasant surprises like the booth of olive oil and foods from Palestine as well as a stand with typical cups for drinking Arab coffee by artist Hanan.

Saturday outdoors in Dubai, a visit to Ripe Market
| |
 |
What kind of tourist are you? I am the one who wanders to discover new places and listen to conversations. It makes me believe I really got to know the city, neighborhood, or country. But – fun fact – in Dubai, walking the streets is not exactly commonplace. Maybe it is due to the heat. But this time, I decided to pursue new outdoor spots in the most cosmopolitan of all emirates.
