This is a small Venice in the middle of a sandy oasis - the heat is easier to bear here, you can drink soft drinks in the cafeteria and watch the fish .... The only negative is that a lot of the territory was blocked because of the hotels in the vicinity ! It didn 't happen before !
I love this oriental-style market. And you don't even need to buy anything, just walk inside past the colorful shops and go out to the main square of Madinat to sail by boat. The ticket price is 100 dirhams
There is a good atmosphere around, you can dive back into history, feel it. From there you can see the hotel-sail (it's nearby), and in general we were just at an old covered market where you can buy souvenirs and a lot of historical things, coins, crafts, products and other oriental antique utensils.

I would live here if my income allowed. It's incredibly beautiful here. Arab Venice. Boating is a delight. The whole setting is beautiful. You can eat in restaurants by the water in a pleasant atmosphere. It is beautiful here both day and night.
A very colorful place, a beautiful oriental market, you can bargain. Magnificent views for photos on the "Sail". I liked the boat ride. I definitely recommend you to visit!
We went here this year, as the last time was 5 years ago. Everything is unchanged. It just seemed that the boats became faster and there was little time. And the price for such entertainment is clearly too high. The souvenir market is the same as in other places. Just for a walk.
The area is bounded by a market and restaurants on the water. I want to go and see . Access to the sea is closed. Where it is obviously very beautiful, especially the sunsets.
An atmospheric place to spend the evening. Channels, restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, pleasant music. Especially good for a sunset photo shoot against the backdrop of the famous sail hotel.
It's a beautiful place, but you won't be able to walk along the streets, everything is blocked.The small part is open to tourists: for restaurants and shops.
In general, if we take into account that this is not a historical landmark, but just a shopping center rigidly oriented to tourists, then everything falls into place.
Nevertheless, the place is of course very atmospherically built, in a well-seasoned style of an Arab bazaar, plus Venetian vibes. There is no entertainment here, but there are places to eat and souvenirs. In general, it is worth visiting, walking along the galleries and along the embankments. The place is interesting, although it is a new building.
There will be a lot of pain with a baby stroller, since there are a lot of stairs, and ramps are not everywhere.
I was not impressed. There is a market, there are exits to the street, but not to walk around, everything is fenced off and there are restaurant tables all around. Wasted time. Why tour groups are taken there is a big question. You can take a great picture of the Parus hotel without entering the territory, but it turns out better from the road.
I don't recommend it at all. They sell bullshit for tourists. You'd better go to the mall. The fake "Venice" was also not impressed. It's more like a theme park for kids. In general, there is nothing to do there at all, do not waste time. There are a lot of much more interesting places in Dubai
A beautiful place, an entourage. Sometimes they go boating on the canal. Inside there are shopping malls and cafes. I go there for the sake of a Belgian cafe with Belgian beer)))
An interesting place that combines buildings stylized as old Emirati buildings and beautiful canals with abrami. We advise you to take a ride on it. It costs 100 dirhams per person. The driver will show the most interesting angles for photos against the background of Burj Al-Arab, even offer help. There is a market stylized as an Arab bazaar
They are side by side, we can say that the same thing (in another pestilential review) this area is better for me than a noisy city. And the center is 15/20 minutes away by a good car
Place bomb ) there is a mini market , a restaurant , och beautiful views of Bursh Ala rab the top hotel in the world. For photos and walks, this is just a godsend
