Visitors to Al Majaz Waterfront will be thrilled to hear that the popular Sharjah destination’s collaboration with The Ripe Food & Craft Market is set to continue in full force in a brand new evening slot each Tuesday to accommodate the return of the warmer season.

The Ripe Food & Craft Market will be welcoming shoppers from 4pm till 9pm in the evening on Tuesdays, giving visitors to Al Majaz the chance to enjoy a fun-filled family day out, while making the best of the cooler afternoon hours.

Commenting on the chance of timing, Mohammed Fadhil Al Mazroui, Al Majaz Waterfront Manager said, “The Ripe Market has already firmly ensconced itself as one of our most popular community events, attracting crowds from all over Sharjah and beyond. By shifting the market’s timing to later in the day, and on a weekday as well, we want to give our visitors the chance to continue enjoying its wonderful offers – and Al Majaz’s many attractions – in a time slot that guarantees a pleasant experience for the whole family. The later hours, of course, also means that a visit to the market can be rounded of with a delicious and relaxed dinner at one of our restaurants, making a perfect end to a great outing.”

One of the UAE’s most popular community events The Ripe Food & Craft Market gives shoppers a great way to stock up on the very best produce available.
