    Amazing places for sea food lovers!
    It is designed in traditional style and they have more than eighty species of sea food. It also includes a separate section fruit and vegetables, and meat. They have proper cleaning area for the fishes and lots of people working to clean the fishes. It is located between Corniche Road and Sharjah Creek. It extremely vibrant, energetic and busy. Amazing cleanliness.

    A very nice amrket well planned in the city of Sharjah UAE
    This market is one of the three markets at the center of Sharjah city close to the bus station. I just trekked to reach the markets to see lots of fresh fruits for sale including food stuffs. I was surprise to find yams among the food crops on sale and i was told it is from my country's capital Abuja and there is water yams from Ghana. I had my breakfast in one of the food canteen at the market and ot was nice. After visiting the other two markets located close by i still came back to this market to buy some provisions at a super market at the market.

    Loved fresh fruits
    Almost all fruits and vegetables meat and fish under one roof. Clean and well arranged market. And prices are cheaper too. Seasonal fruits makes worth visiting. Variety and selection are really good. Plenty of parking space. And there are people if you needed your car cleaned while you buy your stuff.

    Not just for shopping...
    I love this souq so much.it was not my first visit. The building is beautiful and we can find fresh vegetables, fruits , juices and small restaurants too. The fish market is very exciting, especially the people who have no Sea at home.. like me :) we can find meat market too, and special shops for many kind of honey and fried fruits. So the market is not just for shopping we can spend nice time there.

    Interesting Experience
    Visiting this market is a great way to understand the local culture and life style. The market is set up well with different sections divided with meat, seafood, vegetable etc. Be sure to check out the back by the river. See all the boats that brought stuff from aboard.

    Large, modern market in Sharjah
    Souq Al Jubail is not exactly a souq (traditional market), like some of the heritage souqs in Dubai or Sharjah. It's a spacious, modern building, built next to the Sharjah Creek, across the road from Al Jubail Bus Station. The souq externally has some traditional architectural elements such as domes and Islamic patterns. Internally, it has three sections: one each dedicated to vegetables, fish and meat. The place is well air-conditioned, so the smell does not carry and is, by and large, a hygienic place. Unlike other shopping destinations, there are few activities here for those who are not into shopping. There are barely 1-2 joints where one can eat. There are some good date sellers in the vegetables section, offering a nice variety of dates. One can spend about 45 minutes here.

    A five star market
    The luxury and cleaness of the fish, meat and vegetable market in jubail sharjah is outstanding and the biggest advantage is the reasonable prices and continuous monitoring from governmental staff on quality,prices and hygiene.

    Clean and interesting
    Whether you are food shopping or not, this is an interesting place to visit, especially on a Friday morning. The meat and fish market is on the right side of this air conditioned building, and the fruit and veg market is on the left. There are two huge closed-off, fish-cleaning rooms and it is amazing to see the many staff hard at work! In the fruit & veg market, there is a section dedicated to dates, as well as stands selling imported specialties, such as one with gourmet olive oils and spreads, and some selling African foods. There is also a small coffee stand and a fresh juice stand.

I never seen an organized and clean wet market as this one. It is segmented with glass door and air conditioned. Nice to shop. Brought kilos of dates and nuts from this place. Price is half of Singapore and about 30% cheaper than Dubai supermarket. Pistachios is at AED40 per kg and Ajwa dates is at AED60 per kg. Never seen that much dates in my life

I go once or twice a week to this sook, the vendors are friendly and offer fresh produce concerning fruits and vegetables, meat of all kinds and also fish with a small barbecue service on request. The hygiene and cleanliness are perfect, a great experience to recommend for all.
