Al Rigga The Night Market

Al Rigga the night market in Dubai is a seasonal, open-air evening bazaar running typically from October through April or May, located on Al Rigga / Al Muraqqabat in Deira with free admission. It features 100+ stalls offering filipino street food (70–80 % of food offerings), pan-asian cuisines, local fashion, accessories, electronics, and live music / entertainment under ambient lighting. Typical timings are from 4pm / 5pm until 1:30am / 2am daily during the season. The event is organized by G&M events management under the DSF (Dubai shopping festival) banner, serving as a festive night-out destination and platform for small entrepreneurs. Crowds can reach 5,000–6,000 nightly, and seating is largely picnic style across communal tables. Many attendees rate the ambience as vibrant and festive, though note that noise, crowd density, smoke smells and average food quality are occasionally commented on in reviews.
