Dhow Wharf and Fish Market
Information you need about the Dhow Wharf and Fish Market in Abu Dhabi!.
If you want to take a step back in time, and see Abu Dhabi, as it must have been a hundred years ago, head to the Dhow Wharf near the modern Corniche. Since Abu Dhabi was originally built on trade, this part of the city is one of the oldest.
Traditional Arabic Dhows still unload their cargos onto the wharf, where it is moved on to stores and stalls throughout the city. The wharf is not so busy as the one in Dubai, but it is one of the most bustling places in Abu Dhabi. The Fish Market that adjoins the wharf is filled throughout the day with people from all over the city stocking up on seafood, still a popular staple in the local diet.
