- ★Negotiable prices, bargaining expected
- ★Cleaning and cooking available nearby
- ★A working market, not a tourist set-piece
A working fish market beside Ajman's harbour, where boats come in with the Gulf catch. Mornings are the busiest, with prawns, squid, kingfish and grouper moving fast. Prices are negotiable and bargaining is normal. Nearby stalls will clean the fish, and a few cafés close by will cook what you buy for a small fee. This is not a tourist set-piece but a living part of the city, worth a look even without buying.
Tips
Come early morning for the best choice and cooler air. Bring cash. For a small fee the fish is cleaned on the spot, and nearby cafés will cook it.
