Whenever we have visitors coming to Abu Dhabi, we usually have our long list of must-visit spots in the Capital. We bet almost all travelers to Abu Dhabi go back to their home country with a few hundred grams of dates. If the date market is not yet on your top 10 spots to go to, then add it now as we just re-discovered the quiet date market hidden in the vegetable and fruit market at Port Zayed. So, next time you pass around the fish market or the carpet souk or take pictures of the wooden traditional dhows at Port Zayed, make a detour and pass by the vegetable and fruit market where you will get a real feel of the old Abu Dhabi. For today, we will focus on the first alley that is dedicated to dried fruits and the different varieties of dates from across the Middle East.
Abudhabi Dates Market is the main and biggest market to get dates in Abu Dhabi. The various products of date species are available usually in they market during the season. You can find date products from Oman and Saudi as well. The prices you can get here are the best in town.
