27. Sailing Supermarkets
Think grocery shopping is a land-based activity? Not in Dubai, where even the concept of a supermarket has taken to the seas. Welcome to Carrefour Bites & More by the Shore, a supermarket that floats and serves you right on the water. With a range of items priced between $5 and $20, you can pick up hot and cold snacks, fresh food, beverages, ice cream, and even necessities like medicine and sunscreen without ever having to go ashore.
Launched in 2018, this unique floating store was the world’s first “sail-through” supermarket. It operates six days a week from 10 AM to 6 PM, weather permitting. So whether you’re out boating, jet-skiing, or enjoying a day on a yacht, this sailing supermarket has got you covered. You can find it servicing the Kite, Jumeirah, and Al-Sufouh Beaches, making it a convenient and novel way to grab your essentials while enjoying a day on the water.
