TL;DR
If you do not have a car, taking a taxi to Dibba market is more practical: the walk takes around 30 minutes and can remain extremely hot in the evening. Travelers report cheaper fruit and a better selection than in Dibba shops.
If you are going around Dibba without a car, a taxi is the easier option, particularly with children or in hot weather. In one case, a driver waited roughly 40–60 minutes at the border while a child’s documents were checked, so it is sensible to warn the driver about possible delays.
Dibba market is considered worthwhile for its cheaper fruit and broader selection compared with regular shops in town. That can make a taxi trip worthwhile if you do not have a car.
Walking to the market can take about 30 minutes rather than 15–20 minutes. The heat may still be intense at sunset and the return trip can be after dark, making a taxi the more comfortable choice.
