What to do at the marketplace in Dubai's wealthy neighborhoods

Souk Madinat Jumeirah is a highly-rated marketplace in Dubai's affluent areas, unlike the crowded tourist spots like the Dubai Gold Souk and Spice Souk (Deira). However, as it becomes more well-known, you too may one day come here on a whim!

What do they do at this marketplace?
1️⃣ Browse and eat; this is a more modern Arabian market with lots of small commodities like scarves, clothes, and shoes (I heard a tourist say it's somewhat similar to Yiwu market in China )
2️⃣ There's a restaurant called Zheng He's (picture 5) famous for its roast duck, and many locals also come here for Chinese food! In the past, dining here also included a free ride on the fort's canal boats.
3️⃣ The fort's canal boats are a spot many Instagram bloggers come to check in. The boats travel through the fort, offering a different experience from Dubai Creek's abras, and you can also take one with afternoon tea.
4️⃣ The Starbucks at Al Seef is known as the most beautiful, while the Costa at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is a great place for a photo op with a sailboat!

As for whether it's worth visiting, it depends on whether you have enough time. If you do, it's certainly worth a visit~
