The Market at Mushrif Mall: Changing the food shopping landscape

Entering the doors of The Market, Abu Dhabi’s newest shopping experience, is as much a treat for the eyes as for the taste buds.

The first signs are not promising: the underground car park of Mushrif Mall on Airport Road. But a short ride up the escalator brings customers to something of a foodie paradise, with fresh food from all over the world, including the choicest cuts of meat and fruit and vegetables in abundance.

Best of all is that, as the name suggests, everything comes at street-market prices.

Long anticipated, The Market seems to have been worth the wait. And no one is more relieved to see the indoor food halls finally in business than Mohammed Abdel Kuddus, who worked previously in the old Mina Market. He still remembers how hard it was to cope with the boiling summer heat of the outdoor market.

“This place is nice. Everything is clean and customers don’t have to worry about hygiene or flies sitting over the food items,” says the Bangladeshi, who works in Zuhrat Al Baqa vegetable shop.

While the prices were among the city’s lowest, the outdoor setting of the old markets, in the port, was not for everyone. The new market is designed to attract a wider range of both expat and Emirati customers.
