Marsa Boulevard reopened on 30 October 2026, bringing a new line-up of restaurants, wellness activities and cultural events to Dubai Creek for its third season.
Located at Al Kheeran, Marsa Al Khor, near Dubai Festival City Mall, the seasonal waterfront destination returns with a larger footprint and more of the Creek frontage in use.
Food remains a central part of the offering, with new arrivals joining returning favourites and a redesigned Botanical Garden introducing open-fire cooking and speciality coffee.
New names join the dining line-up
The third season welcomes a range of new food and beverage concepts, including French bistro NAC, New York-style pizza venue CRST and coffee spot For a While.
Marmellata, Slrp, Badu and Nuwa are also among the new names, while Lune, Home Bakery, Trio and Sadeem return following the previous season.
The mix brings together restaurants, bakeries and coffee concepts, giving visitors different reasons to spend time along the waterfront, whether stopping for a drink or planning an evening around a meal.
A redesigned Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden has been reimagined for the new season, with open-fire cooking and speciality coffee introduced within its planted setting.
Open-fire cooking adds a visible element to the dining experience, while the coffee offering creates an opportunity for guests to visit beyond a traditional dinner occasion.
Wellness, fashion and public art
Beyond dining, the new season adds Pilates and yoga at Matcha Club Creek, a Loewe pop-up and commissioned public artworks along the waterfront.
Matcha Club Creek will add Pilates sessions and a yoga studio alongside its padel courts, while Studio 152 returns with exhibitions, fashion showcases and cultural events. Fashion house Loewe will also present a seasonal pop-up.
Art installations and commissioned works by artists from the UAE, the wider region and abroad will be positioned along the waterfront. The works will explore themes including wind, water, trade, migration and the changing city.
Seasonal programming is also planned around Eid Al Etihad, New Year’s Eve and Ramadan, giving the destination opportunities to evolve throughout its run.
A waterfront destination for the cooler months
Marsa Boulevard first opened in early 2025 and has since become a seasonal addition to Dubai Creek’s leisure offering. The project is developed by Al-Futtaim, which also operates neighbouring Dubai Festival City.
Entry is free, allowing visitors to explore the promenade and choose how they spend their time across its dining, retail and leisure spaces.
