Fishbox
Wet Fish Trading is a family owned and run business based in Dubai since 2004. Mark and Jacky Allan had operated a successful London fish wholesale operation for seventeen years before emigrating to the UAE twelve years ago with their three children. Using their experience of trading with superb quality fish in top hotels and Michelin Star restaurants, they quickly established themselves as leading players in the industry here winning after just two years of trading, the inaugural Lloyds TSB Small Business of the Year in 2006.

Rootz Organics
First dedicated online store offering both Organic and Sustainable products with an aim to serve the communities in the UAE and Middle East.
Rootz Organics is my humble attempt at creating awareness about organic products and sustainable living. It is my contribution towards building a community that lives a life free of chemicals, pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Starting our kids early on these good habits will ensure that our coming generations too are hale and hearty.
Al Ain Farms
Being the first dairy company in the UAE, Al Ain Farms has undertaken a pivotal role in ensuring the finest food products to the people of the country. All our products are made with love, locally, in Al Ain, the heart of the UAE, and delivered fresh around the country on a daily basis.
Goshopia
At Goshopia you will find designers and brands that embrace at least one of our 3 S´s: Slow Fashion (not mass produced items), Sustainability and Social Responsibility. This is what I call Sustainable Style.
Oo La Lab
Oo La Lab is a craft fragrance lab where perfume ingredients are stored in small batches and hand-poured to order. Use the Oo Fragrance Table to select ingredients and build up your own fragrance formula, or work with an Oo La Mixologist to design one. 1000’s of unique olfactory combinations can be crafted. Oo La Lab hosts sensorial workshop sessions under the title ‘Chemistry of Oo’.
Dazzling Designs
Offers complete design, decor, and turn key solution for your homes, commercial & residential units. Join the quest of turning houses into homes, empty spaces into living ones & let’s bring life to where you live.
Fringe Society
Fringe Society is about creating a home, wherever you may be. As expats we often find ourselves living on ‘the fringe’ of societies around the world. Immersed in different cultures and beliefs, day-to-day life can be unpredictable and challenging, which is why our home becomes our haven.
Drawing on my love of natural materials, textures and tones, I find inspiration in the contrasts of my surroundings: raw & luxe | natural & manmade | bold & subtle.
Why Go-Lokal?
We should support our local market (local products & local brands) by empowering people within the UAE to do business with local companies and local entrepreneurs that are based and operate from within the UAE.
By connecting the local community we aspire to support the local economy, making its unique brands better known, and create awareness for authentic tour experiences. Go-Lokal gives you access to all hidden gems the UAE has to offer.

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
