Gold Souk

Shop for gold ornaments and gemstones in Dubai…

A trip to Dubai isn’t complete without a trip to the famous Gold Souk, one of the oldest and most fascinating traditional markets in the emirate. Whether you’re just browsing, or genuinely on the hunt for even the slightest amount of precious gold, walk through the glittering Gold Souk to find designs from around the world crafted with a variety of carats.

Long lines of market stalls showcase a myriad of authentic and eye-catching products – you never know when you’ll spot something special for you and your loved ones. All merchandise is carefully regulated by the Dubai government to ensure the authenticity of the quality you receive.

You can be sure your purchases will be genuine. In addition to gold, look out for diamond-encrusted ornaments, strings of pearls, platinum and silver. Retailers are more than up to offer a bargain, provided you are fair with your price. The Gold Souk is located on the Deira side of Dubai Creek, just a short walk from other bustling souks and abra stations.

Grand Souk Deira

Gift shopping and garments across Old Dubai’s souks

Established in 1850, Deira’s traditional souk area now comprises a range of markets restored to showcase their original architecture. Grand Souk Deira, just steps away from the entrance of the Spice Souk, is an ideal shopping destination for gifts and traditional Arabian products.

The market has a variety of goods on offer, including toys, household items and an array of gifts. Examples include trays, spices, perfumes, herbs, shawls and other fabrics.

The shopping site emerged because of its close proximity to the harbour area, where merchants received goods from merchant ships that arrived from Africa and the subcontinent. More than 220 historic building facades have been refurbished and the surrounding urban spaces have been modified to enhance the visitor experience.
