The Middle East's 1st Floating Boutiques Will Be Your New Favorite Shopping Spot

If you thought The Yard was cute, wait until you see the latest project from Meraas. The brand behind Box Park, City Walk and Kite Beach has teamed up with BEYOU Group to launch BEYOUland, at the ever-popular Al Seef location.

It's the first time they've done a floating market and when it opens later this year it's expected to be the only one in the region. A series of boutiques will be set up in 17 abras across 1.8km and a whopping 9 million people are projected to visit over the next year.

The idea comes from Sheikha Maytha Hasher Al Maktoum, and His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum has already visited to show his support.

If you love art, food and most importantly, retail therapy, you'll love this cool new spot!
