If you haven’t been to Marsa Boulevard yet, where have you been? This stunning waterfront destination along Dubai Creek is back with a glow-up that includes more food, more fashion, and way more reasons to clear your camera roll.

It’s not just another pretty place to grab dinner (though the food is incredible). It’s a seasonal cultural hub that’s all about celebrating homegrown talent, Emirati entrepreneurs, and the creative pulse of Dubai. Think of it as the intersection of gourmet dining, fashion pop-ups, art installations, and those perfectly curated moments that make your Instagram feed look effortless. Oh, and did we mention? Entry is completely free.

This season, Marsa Boulevard is going all-in on supporting local businesses. You’ll find beloved Emirati-founded F&B concepts like Home Bakery, Trio, Mara Lounge, and Caia alongside homegrown favourites like BLU PIZZERIÁ, Lost in Tokyo, and WatchHouse. It’s the kind of lineup that showcases Dubai’s diverse creative landscape whilst keeping the focus on the talent that calls this city home.

But the real star of the show are the activations. Marsa Boulevard launched Studio 152, a dedicated fashion hub hosting exclusive events. The first exhibit is now on display to celebrate 30 years of the master of light with Georges Hobeika.

Whether you’re there for the food, the fashion, or just the vibes, Marsa Boulevard is where Dubai’s creative community comes together. Open weekdays from 4:00 PM to midnight and weekends until 1:00 AM, it’s the perfect spot for everything from solo sunset walks to full group hangs. And with the UAE celebrating 2025 as The Year of Community under the slogan “Hand in Hand,” there’s no better time to experience a destination that’s truly all about connection.
