There’s somthing special and a sense of magic when the Dubai cooler air arrives. People come out of their homes to enjoy the cooler weather and do that in style. And this year, a feeling of excitement arrives with the return of Marsa Boulevard, Dubai Creek’s most picturesque open-air destination, making its comeback for its second season. After a long summer and a first season that was a huge success, it returns refreshed, redesigned, and ready for the next chapter in the creek.

Set against the timeless backdrop of the Creek, Marsa Boulevard – a celebration of creativity and a place where the arts are intertwined with food, where families can walk along the water and watch the sunset over the skyline, and where fashion and design quietly take centre stage.

Everything about the boulevard feels considered. The attention to detail shines through. From flowing fabric and mirror installations to dreamy projections, a Marsa Merch pop-up, and the banner-drop – all designed to keep the energy alive. This season, visitors can check out the new Studio 152, a brand-new creative space that will host a variety of activities, including fashion shows, cultural workshops, and events that combine design, music, and art.

Marsa Boulevard is designed to blur the lines between tradition and innovation, but ultimately, to create a place that is all about expressing yourself while experiencing the beauty of the creek.

Of course, the food at Marsa Boulevard is also worth mentioning, and as we know, no destination in Dubai would be complete without the food aspect. New to the boulevard this season is Carousel, a rotating restaurant concept that features a different chef or team each month, both from within the region and internationally. Another new addition is Watch House, the famous London-based coffee shop that is now open in the UAE. These two restaurants join an array of Dubai favourites such as Home Bakery, Mara Lounge, Blu Pizzeria, Lost in Tokyo, and many more.

Marsa Boulevard is now open, welcoming visitors to explore its refreshed experiences, new culinary offerings, and community spirit along the Creek. We’ll see you there.
