Just fake, bad ripoff of some original souks. On top of this it’s just one street only with a lot of Indian hardware shops around it and more garbage

Interesting place to explore, with street after street of shops selling everything you can imagine, but mainly clothes/cloth and gold. I particularly enjoyed walking around the gold souq building...

We had a pleasant morning strolling around the souk. Stall holders were keen to stop potential tourist customers but were friendly. Prices are inflated so haggle hard!

Good place to visit in Bahrain. Not so many shops and options. Antique items available. Prices are quiet high. Local shops are good place to take pictures.
