Epic Click Travel: Dubai is renowned for its modern malls, but the authentic charm of shopping lies in the souks – traditional marketplaces filled with color, culture, scents, and bargains. Here’s your guide to navigating these fascinating places.

Gold Souk (Deira)

What to buy: Gold, diamonds, and precious jewelry
The Gold Souk is one of the most famous gold markets in the world. With hundreds of shops lined with shining gold, you’ll find everything from traditional pieces to custom designs.
💡 Tip: Gold is sold by weight, and prices change daily based on the market. Don’t forget to bargain

Spice Souk (Deira)

What to buy: Spices, herbs, teas, incense
A feast for the senses! The Spice Souk offers saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, dried lemons, and local teas. Many vendors offer samples – don’t be shy to smell and taste.
💡 Tip: Ask for vacuum packaging if you plan to take spices home.

Textile Souk (Bur Dubai)

What to buy: Fabrics, pashminas, scarves, traditional clothing
Colorful stalls with silks, cottons, and embroidered fabrics from around the world. You can also have clothing tailored on the spot.
💡 Tip: Bargaining is expected – start at half the asking price!

Perfume Souk (near the Gold Souk)

What to buy: Arabic perfumes, essential oils, oud, attar
This souk is heaven for fragrance lovers. You’ll find perfume oils with no alcohol, unique local blends, and custom-made scents.
💡 Tip: Ask vendors to create a signature scent just for you.

Souk Madinat Jumeirah

What to buy: Souvenirs, décor, crafts, spices
