Location and Travel :-
The Gold Souk is in the Deira part of Dubai. If you happen to be staying in Bur Dubai you can take either a bus or a taxi to the Gold Souk. As it is so famous you need not tell the driver the location, he will take you there. From Bur Dubai the easiest way to go is through the Al Shindaga tunnel as you will have to cross the Creek. If you are staying in Deira, it might be either walkable or a short cab drive away. Plenty of local maps are available--the tourist desk at your hotel should be able to provide you with one.When visiting the Gold souk it is also worthwhile to step into the nearby fish market which is really huge and displays a wide array of fish, prawns and crabs(you will be surprised at their different colours).

Breakfast was nice and i have been there for conference dinners, which were standard Hotel Catering.
One negative idea is that the Hotel is one of the oldest therefore you can find for the same price more modern and luxurious hotels in Bahrain. ...
Advantages: In life, you get what you negotiate.... Disadvantages: ....not what you deserve
; otherwise you make it too easy for him to explain as a volume discount a discount that you probably could have talked him into anyway. Keep the two distinct, and sequential.
This is also the moment to find out if the price might be a little lower if you paid in a harder currency than the local one ? euros or US dollars, for example. Pounds, regrettably, don't seem to be a very popular option at the moment, but euros tend to be more than welcome on the fringes of Europe, and dollars are usually very acceptable in Latin America and parts of Asia. I generally carry some of the relevant currency around in addition to the local, just in case. In souks or bazaars you might be wary of paying by credit card for security reasons ? I certainly am ? though the most unlikely, basic-looking stalls are often equipped to handle them. But it ...
