    Dubai Gold Souq
    Great place to buy for Gold. Numerous shops to choose from! I came with my friends to buy gold and ended up with pretty decent ones with affordable price. It tends to get crowded a lot even on weekdays or when gold price drops so be ready. You can bargain for the price also.

    Between Al Ghubaiba metro station and the old fort
    Meena bazar in Al Fahidi feels a bit like India or Pakistan. It is not a bazar in the classical sense of the word, but rather a cluster of small shops and restaurants in a labyrint of alleys and streets. Butchers, tailors, 5 dirham hairdressers, laundry places and groceries, very many small low-budget restaurants mostly offering Indian and Paistani food.

    Beware of shopkeepers selling jewelry, traditional clothes, perfumes and spices who are experienced in dealing with ignorant tourists. Of course there are honest men among them, but bargaining without knowing real Dubai prices always ends in being overcharged or ripped of.

    This was a very interesting array of many stores, and certainly worth a short visit when in the area.

    Not a relaxing pleasant experience
    I visited the Spice Souk and Gold Souk on 11 May 2023 during my 4th visit to Dubai. What should have been a nice relaxing stroll through the Spice Souk to look at all the things on display and buy something which might caught my eye turned into a stressful outing due to the vendors who became agitated when I said I'm not there to buy something specific I just want to relax and have a look around Everybody wanted to sell me a pashmina (while it was about 40°C outside) or dragged me by my arm into their shop to try and convince me to buy spices, teas, ornaments etc. And when I was not interested a card with photos of fake designer watches and handbags would suddenly appear from a pocket and be offered to you at "good prices". The Gold Souk turned out to be a calmer more relaxing place for a stroll. I think on my next visit to Dubai I will rather not visit the Spice Souk again.

    Four for the sights and sounds and smells
    We took the Metro to the Dubai Creek at the Spice Souk and had a lovely afternoon. The souk is the traditional style with vendors stalls and stores in rows, many selling the same products. We do not appreciate being harassed so as soon as we passed a vendor sitting quietly outside his shop we went in. I'm not a driven barterer and the prices were fair so we picked up some jasmine flowers for tea, some butterfly tea mix, and a 1/2 kilo shelled raw pistachios. Great buys. The best of the souk is people watching. The visual effects of the mounded spices on display reminded me of the spice bazaar in Istanbul.
