The atmosphere is at its best early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Early morning is the best time to catch a glimpse of the fish arriving, and choose from crabs, lobsters and local fish such as the local grouper called "hammour" (pronounced "love") or the rabbit fish "siganus rivulatus" or "siganus luridus", locally known as safi and abundant in the waters of the Gulf. The trick is to buy the fish, have it filleted and cooked on the spot with a few spices, then enjoy it in one of the market stalls. At 6 p.m., the fish auction: atmosphere guaranteed!

Several years ago this market had a reputation for selling a fish with an extraordinary taste and without equivalent in the Emirates. Unfortunately, since 2009, many customers have complained about the freshness of fish sold to the market. It says that fishermen go to Dubai to sell their goods and then return to UAQ with the unsold. The small market remains, however, no less picturesque.
