South Bazar in Al Wakra is a budget-friendly outdoor marketplace, offering a variety of household items, abayas, toys, and more. Many of the products seem to come from stock clearances, with prices being notably low, though this often reflects in the quality. Abayas and footwear are among the more popular items, and some vendors allow for bargaining at their stalls.
The bazar is not air-conditioned, which makes shopping here difficult during the hot summer months, though it’s more comfortable in winter. The market features a few plant shops, and a variety of small cafeterias and grocery stores, with fruit and vegetable vendors scattered throughout.
Many counters are still unoccupied, but once fully operational, the market may become more vibrant. Overall, it’s a decent place to shop for inexpensive women’s wear, household items, and everyday essentials, but it’s best visited during the cooler months due to the lack of climate control.
