Adding to the already glowing Dubai dining scene, Dubai Festival City Mall is set to launch the largest food hall in the Middle East called Market Island.
The market will open in December and will be situated on the mall's ground floor at the north end.
The food hall will be home to 53 dining concepts, boasting cuisines from around the world, spanning 70,000 square feet.
With a capacity of 3,500 people, the food hall will host food stations, restaurants, bars and lounges, and will also have a licenced bar inside the mall for the first time in the UAE.
Live entertainment is also on the cards, and visitors can enjoy watching amazing performances from local artists to DJs.
