Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, is organising the 'Proudly from Dubai Market' at the Hatta Festival. The unique market, one of the key highlights of the festival, runs until 31st December at the scenic Leem Lake in Hatta.

The market showcases the innovative culinary concepts and diverse products of 30 homegrown businesses, all part of the 'Proudly from Dubai' network. Half these businesses represent the local Hatta community, highlighting the area's growing entrepreneurial vibrance.

The market features diverse products, including clothing, honey, candles, perfumes, accessories, fabric, coffee beans and matcha powder.

The participation of Hatta-based businesses in the market was facilitated in collaboration with Dubai's Community Development Authority and the Hatta Traders Council. The market features a mix of 16 food and beverage outlets and 14 ventures displaying other products, offering visitors a rich and varied experience.
