Very aggressive marketing. I just remembered Egypt in 2010....
The assortment is diverse, but the desire to buy something disappeared after the first minutes of being in this market.
The only shop where they don't try to force-feed you mangoes from dirty hands is located between construction supplies and carpets. That's where we bought everything)
Fruits are cheaper than supermarkets, you can also find souvenirs and a delicious, not expensive analogue of Dubai chocolate... And bargain, they love it!)
The only place within walking distance near the Radisson Blue Resort hotel.
A 20-minute walk along the side of the road and you will plunge into the unique flavor of the local market. Mostly fruits: mangoes from Egypt, coconuts from Vietnam, various exotics from Thailand, dates from Saudi Arabia. Bargain - 2-3 dirhams are easily discounted.
Who wants variety to the buffet of the hotel, and just tired of winding circles around the case - go ahead!
In addition to fruit, a store with carpets and ceramics - our "ridiculous prices" and other "customs clearance" are of high quality. There is also a small shop with various nonsense.
We visited this market, which is located not far from our Fairmont fujairah beach hotel, and the vendors did not bother us. We had five children with us, and one of the locals who looked like the owner treated the children to a bunch of sweets and wished them a good rest.
Prepare for the worst!
Trading is in full swing,
and the strongest will walk away with nothing from the word "bargain." They won't give it away for free. For little money, only the missing. Yes, and you won't be able to return the dirhams either, only in exchange for something else. In general, you will not get a good mood from the purchase. There is only one fruit market in the area.
The market is located in the Emirate of Fujairah, literally a 10-15-minute walk from the Firemont and Mirage hotels. The part of the market that you see at first, approaching from the hotels, are pavilions with garden goods and souvenirs. Along them you need to go to the left, towards the highway, and already in the last pavilions on this side and in all pavilions along the highway there is a fruit trade. There you can also buy packages of dates in chocolate. At the end of the shopping row there is a small shop with canned food, juices, chips and other snacks - the prices are the lowest of all three found near the hotel (in the complex adjacent to the Firemont and in the Mirage, entrance from the street). A coffee stall closes the shopping row, the price of coffee in which is again lower than in the square in front of the market.
Fresh delicious fruits, the hotel is nearby 15-20 minutes walk. The prices are good, we need to bargain. There is a shop with all sorts of small things, it looks like a village tent, prices are cheaper than in a supermarket.
First, ask everyone for the price, they sell the same thing, but the prices are different (And it's not a fact that the price announced by the seller today will not differ from the one he will name tomorrow. We decided to take the mangosteen package home, we took it in a box so as not to crumple it when binding, but when they opened the house, black, large ants crawled, not only the children were scared ...)) The guide from the tour operator at the hotel told us that basically all the fruits are imported, there is nothing practical except dates, but nevertheless everything seems fresh, but we did not like the rambutan, passion fruit is unripe, and mango is overripe, one even leaked (but with all this, the choice of fruits is not bad
Expensive. There are 40 dirhams for a box of 9 mangoes. And they don't bargain much. It is better to drive 10 km further to Lulu or sun, it is 2.5 times cheaper there.
Excellent market, cheap prices and juicy mangoes for 136 rubles (5 dirhams), if you take a lot, you can cost up to 4 dirhams for 1 mango. All other fruits are more expensive, pineapple is 10 dirhams, mini watermelon is 10 dirhams. In some places, impudent sellers, especially if you come by taxi.
It takes 5-10 minutes to walk from the Firemont Hotel, the market is interesting, of course, with fruits: mangoes, pappaya, pineapples, coconuts, strawberries, watermelons and melons. The prices are quite tolerable, you can bargain, sellers are ready to discount. This is quite natural when there are 3-4 customers on a long row of fruit stands, about thirty.
Dirhams, dollars and Union Pay cards are accepted here. At the Radisson blu hotel, I was assured that only dirhams are accepted everywhere. And they change at a not very profitable rate. And the store in the hotel sells everything for three times the price. For example, a pack of pringles chips costs 20 dirhams at the hotel and 5 dirhams at the market. The magnet in the hotel is 25 dirhams in the market 5-10 dirhams. It's not very easy to get there. Just the curb and the paths behind the bushes. But adults get there quite easily. It's better not to go with the children. The sellers are noisy, of course, but kind. I managed to get used to them only the second time. Sometimes they are deceitful. It is better to point your finger directly at each product and thing that you need. Sometimes they say mango is 4 dirhams. And they already put 5 in a bag and they say more. But they trade without problems.
We walked from the Radisson Blu hotel in 10-15 minutes. Of course, it's not very far to go, the roadside is narrow, cars are driving, it's scary.
The market itself is small, a couple of cafes, some carpets and other, haberdashery, but mostly fruits. There is a large selection, there are many sellers, they are all active, they run through, they offer to try the goods (although the knives and the fruits themselves raise doubts about the purity, so it is better not to risk) they bargain reluctantly, but you can still buy very good mangoes cheaper than in the stores of the same Dibba
A great place to shop for fruits. However, do not immediately agree on prices, go to a neighbor, it will immediately become cheaper. First, we came to the 13th point, where the mango was for 12 dirhams, we moved to the 12th point, where the mango became 8 dirhams. There is more choice than in supermarkets, prices are lower. Bargain!
A large selection of fruits! But we need a good bargain! Wonderful seafood! We recommend it to everyone! 15 min walk to the market from the Mirage Hotel in Fujairah. The coconuts on the market are just beautiful! A cool drink in this heat!))
Located 20-25 minutes walk from the Radisson blu, walk along the highway.
They sell different fruits, price tags jump, sellers are clearly ready to bargain.
The first stall / cafe - you can buy cola / pepsi in bottles to take away, then only fruit / water in the stalls
Annoying sellers, Indians or Pakistanis, if you go further there will be a playground and a seafood "restaurant", Took shrimps-they brought finely chopped fresh cabbage on a platter and threw shrimps on top, they were not impressed.
A modest, completely non-resort assortment. A huge abundance of fruits, a small supermarket and, in fact, everything.

In general, there is a large selection, prices are more or less acceptable, bargaining is appropriate, but they may sell the wrong product, which is stable for the markets
From mirage 5 minutes. Very annoying. Mango 3dirham, lucky once. And so 5 dirhams a piece, it's easier to buy a fork in the taste. Dates in chocolate are not of very good quality there
If you live not far away, then for dates and avocados you are here. Inexpensive, ripe, sweet! Near the stalls of "undesirable drinks for the UAE" there is Rum from India)

Bargain furiously and you will be happy. The assortment is good, you can try everything. I especially recommend mangoes and dates.
