THE SOUK MARKETS IN DUBAI: the eastern part of Dubai is the beating heart of the souks that still today give off a unique essence: immersed in an urban context made up of shops and public housing, the souks are the most faithful mirror of yesterday’s Dubai , very different from the one at the foot of the Burj Khalifa or the other destinations of futuristic Dubai.
In Deira we can find the most famous souqs in Dubai: here is the one dedicated to gold and jewels (Dubai Gold Souk) which, in addition to being the largest of its kind in the world, is one of the liveliest. It goes without saying, therefore, that you cannot fail to leave Dubai without having visited it first and, who knows, concluded some good deals. In fact, gold in Dubai has a truly competitive price (it is estimated to be one of the lowest in the world) and this undoubtedly contributes to making negotiations between customers and merchants particularly lively: you can hardly resist the temptation to approach a of the glittering stalls and start a negotiation to bring home top quality jewels at decidedly affordable prices. Among the 300 vendors present, you won’t struggle to find jewelers who customize the models alongside sector giants, such as Damas. Also in Deira, after having sufficiently stimulated your sight, go to tease your touch in the souks that sell textiles and clothing and your sense of smell at the Deira Spice Souq: you won’t have time to enter and you will be overwhelmed by the aromas of saffron, incense and curry, displayed in characteristic jute bags. Certainly getting lost in this riot of colors and smells will be a real pleasure, as will deciding to buy (always negotiating the price) cloves or turmeric to flavor our dishes, back in Italy.
