  • The Gold Souk in Old Town Dubai is worth a visit. The shops are laden with gold and more and the gold prices are very reasonable. The place was full of life when we visited.

  • Sometimes you prefer not to have so much choice. Lots of small jewellery shops but almost all the same and you won't have the time to compare them all.

  • This place will wow you for sure. The richness, the gold bazaar. As an Indian it’s a must stop to buy vat free gold jewellery. Best part about this place. Although it’s an open market, the walkway is covered by wooden roof, which makes it easier to walk and not be bothered by the heat too much. We went to Damas Jewellery shop among others. Professional people.
  • Last time I was here - about ten if fifteen years ago - the souq area was being ‘cleaned’ up for tourists. It was quite empty . It’s great to see that it is again a busy thriving area. I very much enjoyed walking around eating Indian snacks and checking out all the amazing gold art - that’s how it looks to me. Some amazing stuff
  • What a sight. What amazing pieces. My wife who does not like gold even a bit was stunned to her core seeing the gold suits. We could not imagine who wore those and when. Not normal any way. Not casual any way. Super amazing and super heavy. Detailed work done on rings even. They have amazing collection. If you want variety and styles that are new and different, you ought to contact someone who can get you those from here.
  • Offers a much more "street experience" and semi-wholesome ( could visit more authentic places) but still has a good shopping experience. It's very humid in these passageways but rewarding both with deals and the experience. Definitely a must visit - 🌅
  • One of good place to buy gold in Dubai, you will get latest design and model. But remember they are charging lots of Making Charge. But as a tourist you can roaming around the place and can enjoy the multicultural beauty.
