The Souks
Area: Dubai
Dubai souks (markets) are a magical and unmissable part of Dubai. In fact Dubai souks are renowned across the world. The Dubai Gold Souk alone is the reason many people come to Dubai.
But all the other Dubai souks are worth seeing as well. The ancient Covered Souk, the Fish Souk, the Spice Souk, the Textile Souk – all should be seen if possible. Especially as all the Dubai souks are located close together in the Deira district, with the exception of the Textile Souk in Bur Dubai, and that’s just a few minutes away by abra.
