Drawing on a diverse range of influences from across the Arab world, do not miss a visit to Khan Murjan, an authentic souk located in the heart of Wafi, next door to Raffles Dubai.
Surprises await at every turn in the many alleys and passageways of the souk, each beautifully created using traditional materials and techniques for an authentic touch. Take a stroll through the Moroccan, Syrian, Egyptian, and Turkish quarters and marvel at one of the world’s longest stained-glass windows, painstakingly assembled by hand over many months.
Or enjoy an authentically cooked meal in the courtyard restaurant. Open-roofed yet fully air-conditioned, it provides a welcome retreat from the heat of the day and is home to a traditional water-wheel.
