Dubai Gold Souk

Dubai Gold Souk

Dubai Gold Souk is located in Deira, the old district of Dubai, and is the world's second-largest gold market by trading volume. The gold prices here are among the lowest in the globe. Even if you’re not planning to buy any gold jewelry, visiting the Gold Souk is a must when you're in Dubai — simply to witness the opulence and the breathtaking sight of gold everywhere.

There are around 300 shops on the Gold Souk street, ranging from high-end European-style jewelry stores offering premium services to traditional Arabic-style small shops — an endless variety. Describing it as “magnificent,” “gold-laden,” and “priceless” is truly fitting. Nearly all shops in the Gold Souk sell gold ornaments. Though the shops may be small, they are filled with gold, resembling miniature international museums of gold and jewelry treasures. The items on offer include necklaces, bracelets, earrings, nose rings, platinum, three-tone gold, bangles, chains, cigarette holders, rings, ivory carved candlesticks, ivory bookends, ivory nude female statues, ivory carved sister portraits, keychains, ostrich eggs, rhinoceros figures, antelopes, giraffes, pen holders, and walking canes. As Arabs have a special fondness for gold, the craftsmanship of the gold jewelry here is especially exquisite and unique.

The wide range of distinctive, dazzling, trendsetting gold and jewelry handicrafts at Dubai Gold Souk not only inherit the legacy of traditional Arabic artistry but also incorporate the elegance and glamour of European fashion. Coupled with the authentic and rustic quality of folk handicrafts from the Arabian Gulf countries, they offer a raw and natural sense of beauty.
