June 1, 2017; Dubai, UAE: Riding high on exciting activities, thrilling competitions, and a new adventure every day, Dubai’s largest and the most popular Ramadan Night Market now in its 6th edition raised its curtain on Thursday, June 1. With a variety of exhibitors participating in the market, the event is expected to draw a diverse crowd of over 80,000 visitors over 10 days; the market is being held until June 10th at Hall 7 & 8 at Dubai World Trade Centre. Complimentary health and eye checks, a wide array of food outlets, massive kids play area, adult skill games zone, a classy Arabic Ramadan Majlis and an exclusive Hennah Majlis for ladies will be the highlights of the market.

The much-anticipated night souk returns amidst colourful extravaganza where endless shopping-meets-stimulating fun-meets-scrumptious food, and a delightful array of activities for the young and the old. Within the market sits the unique opportunity to pen your name in the Guinness World Records, hunt your way to fantastic rewards, rouse your brain to think out of the box and hone your culinary skills under the guidance of food critic, among others.

Inaugurated by Ahmed Abdul Karim Mohammed Julfar, Director General of the Dubai Community Development Authority (CDA), the night market is open to visitors from 8 pm to 2 am on all 10 days, with an entry fee of AED 5 for those above 5 years old. Children under 5 have a free pass to the exhibition. Mashreq Bank card holders can get 1 free ticket on purchase of every entry ticket.

“We have filled these 10 days of Ramadan Night Market, with some amazing activities,” promised Samantha Cordeiro Miranda, Deputy General Manager, Marketing & Communications, Ramadan Night Market, “This year, it’s all about adrenaline rush, mind games, quizzes, fitness challenges, slogan competitions and – the cherry on the top – a brilliant opportunity to make and break nine Guinness records on the final three days of the event. We have designed daily themed activities keeping in mind the diverse interests of our visitors and different age groups, and I’m confident that the high entertainment quotient will keep the people engaged.

“From Thinking Thursday that tests your mind, to the mouth-watering Foodie Friday to Super Saturday which will be any Disney fan’s challenge, the weekend holds amazing charm for everyone. Shopaholic Sunday will find the visitors in their element as they hunt across the maze of shops for elusive items that can win them huge rewards. Come Monday and motivation to beat the fitness challenge will be at its peak, while Twinning Tuesday will truly prove that two is better than one as visitors learn to read clues and draw them. Witty Wednesday will be a laugh riot as people jot down funniest jokes, and outwit others on slogan writing. Talented Thursday, Foodie Friday and Sing it Saturday – in collaboration with Guinness World Records – will see people participate in various competitions,” further added Samantha.

The all-inclusive one-stop-shop is a haven for shopaholics who do not need a reason to delve into some gorgeous and delectable shopping. Offering a wide range of products from apparel to intricate jewellery, accessories, health and beauty, home décor, perfumes and cosmetics, toys, footwear, handicrafts, automobiles and electronics, besides others, the annual night family souk is a great hunting ground.
