Residents of Abu Dhabi, prepare to experience a unique shopping extravaganza as the city is set to host its first flea market on Saturday, October 15, 2023. The event will take place at the Fotouh Al Khair Centre, also known locally as the Marks and Spencer Mall, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The flea market, a popular concept that has enjoyed fifteen successful years in Dubai, is now making its way to the capital. This event offers an exciting opportunity for residents to break away from their usual mall-hopping routine and engage in a different kind of retail experience.
A flea market is a place where individuals can buy, sell, or trade items that are in good condition but no longer needed. From unused bicycles and guitars to unopened board games, the flea market encourages the practice of reselling, recycling and reusing items that might otherwise be gathering dust at home.
For those with an entrepreneurial spirit or simply looking to declutter, the flea market provides an opportunity to set up a stall for a fee of Dhs250. This not only allows sellers to find better homes for their pre-loved items but also offers a chance to earn some extra Dirhams.
However, the flea market is not just about buying and selling. It’s also a community event that brings together like-minded individuals. Whether you’re there to shop or sell, it’s a great way to spend a Saturday, meet new people, and get to know your community better.
Entry to the Abu Dhabi City Flea Market is free, making it an accessible and affordable day out for families, friends, and the wider community. So mark your calendars and get ready to haggle, browse, and enjoy a day of fun and unique finds at Abu Dhabi’s first-ever flea market.
