The air is filled with the aroma of various cuisines, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Meals are offered at a low price of Dh15, including momos, Malaysian dishes, and Lok Lok, making these markets a popular choice for evening snacks or dinners among residents.

One such resident, Alex Batista, an admin representative, shared, "I finish my work at 7 pm, disembark at Karama, and make my way to the pop-up market next day for dinner." The markets have become a convenient go-to place for many residents seeking diverse cuisines.

Beyond the food, these markets serve as a haven for bargain hunters. Clothing items start at Dh5, sunglasses at Dh30, shoes at Dh35, and earrings at Dh2, redefining affordable fashion. Tech enthusiasts can explore mobile accessories starting at Dh10, laptops, and mobile phones.
