Gold Souk

A covered historic market with tonnes of gold on display in its windows

Deira 1 – 2 hours

About this place

The Gold Souk in Deira is a street lined with more than three hundred jewellers, sheltered beneath a wooden lattice roof. The total amount of gold in its windows is routinely measured in tonnes.

In Dubai the gold price per gram is set daily by the government and does not vary between shops; bargaining is only over the making charge. This makes buying here more transparent than in many other countries.

Beyond gold, there are also shops selling diamonds, silver and precious stones. The Spice Souk is right next door; the two are visited together.

Highlights

  • More than 300 jewellery shops
  • Official gram price, bargaining only on workmanship
  • Walking distance to the Spice Souk
  • Abra crossing to Bur Dubai

Before you go

  • Bargain over the making charge; there is no point disputing the gram price.
  • Many shops close for a midday break, so plan your visit accordingly.
  • Steer clear of any offers of counterfeit branded goods.
