    The Gold Souk – Dubai The Gold Souk is in the Deira part of Dubai and is easy walking distance from the spice souk and the Dubai Creek crossing. This makes it a great place to wander around as there is so much to see. We were not in the market for gold buying and despite quite likeing jewellery I am not really into spending a lot of money on this sort of thing when on holiday and my husband is even less interested.

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 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages lots of gold, reasonably cheap prices, shopping heaven

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tired feet as there are SO MANY SHOPS!

    When I went to Dubai I was very fortunate to have stayed in a hotel that was just a 5 minute walk for the Gold Souk. With the intention of maybe buying one piece of gold jewellery I actually ended up buying a whole lot more! GOLD SOUK EXPERIENCE The thing about the Gold Souk is that there are lines and lines of gold shops, the gold in the showcases resembles a candy shop window, from bangles to necklaces the choice is endless. Designs can be traditional or modern, bold or conservative, chunky or delicate if you have it in mind then its definitely on display. You can even have the type of ... more
