The market also offers educational activities on sustainable farming, interactive workshops for children and families on best agricultural practices, and integrated advisory services for farmers. Eight restaurants and cafés provide a variety of food and beverage options, making it easy for families to spend an entire afternoon or evening at the venue.
Supporting farmers, economy
Mohammed Abdulrahman Ahli, Acting Director of the Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Department at Dubai Municipality, said: “The Farmers’ Souq returns for its fifth season at Quranic Park with an engaging programme of interactive, family-oriented activities that combine shopping and entertainment. The market continues to serve as a vibrant agricultural and community platform open to all, offering fresh products directly from Dubai’s local farms.”
He added: “The market represents an integrated space that combines community engagement with tangible support for Emirati farmers. It reflects Dubai Municipality’s commitment to strengthening the local agriculture sector and opening direct marketing channels for small agricultural businesses, whilst encouraging the community to support local products in an enjoyable environment that contributes to wellbeing, attractiveness, and overall quality of life.”
The initiative is part of Dubai Municipality’s ongoing support for the local agriculture sector, recognised as a key pillar of the emirate’s future economy. The Municipality provides integrated support to farmers through logistical services, agricultural supplies, awareness workshops, guidance sessions, training programmes, and consultations that promote sustainable farming practices and enhance productivity.
