THE FRIDAY WALK

What a funny idea to call a market a "Friday market" when it is actually open every day! Located on the road from Dubai to Fujairah, shortly before the Masafi fork which will take you either to Fujairah or Hisn Dibba. In an environment of arid mountains, in the heart of the Hajjar massif, here is a city out of an Arabian western. Everything here is for sale on the roadside: pottery, carpets, flowers, dried fish, fruits and vegetables! A good idea when visiting the northern emirates.
