Ramadan evenings in Dubai bring food, culture, and community into one vibrant setting. One experience that has drawn huge attention this season is Iftar Al Souq at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City Dubai — and Sunday, March 15, 2026 marks its final night.
The experience forms part of the larger Hai Ramadan festival, a seasonal celebration filled with traditional entertainment, markets, and family activities under the iconic Al Wasl dome.
What Iftar Al Souq at Expo City Dubai Offers
Iftar Al Souq gives visitors a Ramadan evening inspired by traditional marketplaces. Guests walk through food stalls and cooking stations that present a wide selection of dishes prepared fresh throughout the evening.
The experience takes place at Al Wasl Plaza, the central gathering space of Expo City Dubai, known for its giant dome and large-scale public events.
Entry is AED 150 per person, fully redeemable on food and drinks across the stalls — meaning every dirham spent on the ticket goes directly toward your iftar meal. The experience runs from 5pm to 10pm, giving guests a full evening to explore the stalls at their own pace.
The setting encourages families and groups of friends to spend time together while discovering different food options throughout the evening. Inside the dome, immersive Ramadan-themed projections add to the atmosphere.
Hai Ramadan Festival at Expo City Dubai
Iftar Al Souq is one highlight within Hai Ramadan, Expo City Dubai's flagship Ramadan celebration that returned this season with expanded iftar experiences beneath the Al Wasl dome.
The festival presents a full cultural program with live performances, interactive workshops, and Ramadan-themed markets that celebrate Emirati traditions during the holy month. Families find activities and programming designed for younger guests, creating a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages.
Hai Ramadan has run nightly throughout Ramadan 2026 and has become a major gathering point for residents seeking a festive community atmosphere in Dubai.
Final Night: March 15, 2026
Sunday, March 15, 2026, is the last opportunity to attend Iftar Al Souq this Ramadan season. The experience runs from 5pm to 10pm at Al Wasl Plaza, Expo City Dubai.
Expo City Dubai has promoted the event as a nostalgic Ramadan experience inspired by traditional markets and community gatherings. With the final evening now here, many residents are heading to Al Wasl Plaza for one last chance to enjoy the festive setting under the famous dome.
A Ramadan Gathering That Has Captured Dubai's Attention
Ramadan events take place across the city each year, yet Hai Ramadan at Expo City Dubai continues to draw major interest from residents and visitors alike.
The combination of Al Wasl Plaza's landmark setting, rich cultural programming, and the food-focused Iftar Al Souq experience creates an evening that celebrates Ramadan traditions in a lively public space. As the festival closes on March 15, the crowd is expected to be at its largest — making tonight the most popular night of the season.
