The Gold Souk is a traditional marketplace in Al Ras, in the Deira district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is also known as the Gold Market. It is one of the city's oldest and most famous traditional markets, and it is best known for its wide range of gold jewellery and precious stones.
What to expect
The market is a place to walk slowly and look. Shop fronts display gold pieces in many styles, and the variety makes it a natural stop for anyone interested in jewellery, whether you are looking to buy, to compare designs, or simply to see how a traditional souk is laid out. The atmosphere is that of a working market rather than a showpiece, so the visit is best approached with curiosity and an unhurried pace.
