Gold Souk dubai

The sheer volume of gold and glitz on display at Dubai’s Gold Souk, a covered market that includes dozens of jewelry stores, is blinding. Despite its very specific title, locals and tourists come here for cut-price platinum, diamond, silver, as well as gold. Be sure to haggle as hard as you can. Alternatively, if you care more about the bottom line than the authentic Arabian experience, head to the Gold and Diamond Park, a small shopping center behind Mall of the Emirates, where the prices are lower still. If you don’t need an engagement ring, have a gold necklace made with your name on it Arabic instead.
