The Arab Market will take place in the following locations throughout the town: Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Plaza de España; in Calle Real and in the ‘Jardines del Muro’. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will again attract tourists from all over the Coast.

Benalmádena locals and visitors will be able to enjoy the best of Arabian culture through its products and traditions. The narrow streets of Benalmádena Pueblo will be dressed in exotic fabrics and traditional Jaimas. A wide variety of stalls will offer a wonderful choice of Arab products and arts such as spices, clothes, workshops, ceramics, calligraphy or sweet treats. If you also enjoy the exotic tastes of Arab gastronomy, you’ll find teas, Cous-Cous, falafels and other delicacies.

There’s lots of fun entertainment on the event’s programme too: Street Parades and performers; belly dancers; Workshops (painting, henna, making arabic tea), live music, traditional games and fun rides for the little ones! This year’s event also includes an ecological merry-go-round and a photocall with themed characters for a great photo opportunity!

The Arabian Market official opening hours are as follows: From 7:00pm to midnight on Thursday and from 12:00pm to midnight on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
