An elegant Arabian-souk pastiche on the Madinat Jumeirah estate. Wooden bridges arch over canals, abras ferry between restaurants, boutiques sell mid-range crafts and souvenirs.

Tips
Free entry and parking. Best at sunset — canals light up and the Burj changes colour. Book Folly or Pierchic ahead. Boutiques are pricier than Old Souks but the quality is higher.
