It’s going to be a hustling, busting place and certainly will provide a different shopping experience than going to a mall,” said Sunil Jaiswal, Chief Executive Officer of Sumansa Exhibitions, organisers of Ramadan Night Market.

He also said: “The launch of the market comes as retail spending in the UAE is on the increase, with retailers reporting sales growth this year up 15 per cent from a year earlier on the strength of a buoyant market.
