★Historic Deira

Dubai's most famous souk, in historic Deira. 350+ jewellery shops sell 18K and 22K gold, diamonds, pearls, silver. Window displays carry pieces listed in the Guinness World Records. The gold price moves daily with the rate — watch the Dubai Gold Rate boards. Bargaining is expected.

Tips

A chain price = weight × rate + work fee (10–25%). Negotiate the work fee — the gold rate barely moves. Visit after 20:00 when it cools. The souk closes 13:30–16:00 on Fridays.
