    It’s so incredibly beautiful to walk through these shops and just see gold jewelry hanging everywhere. Even if you don’t buy anything, just walk through and see the jewelry designs.

    New Gold Souk...why? For a real experience go to the old gold soul in Deira to shop. Take a water taxi for the cultural experience to get there. Come ready to bargain leave the store if you must!

    if you are Western they will rope you off, will even if you are not. so make sure to know the real prices of Gold before going and then add around 20 DHS for Workmanship.

    Popularly known as Old Dubai, the classic gold stores and spice market can be found in this site. Haggling is also a norm.

    A gold and jewelry bonanza. Don't be afraid to haggle like there's no tomorrow and don't settle for their "discounts" just because they like you, thats just a technique, keep on haggling!

    Fascinating. The shop owners can be almost too pushy. Be firm and respectable with your “No, Thank you”. Bring your haggling skills for great buys.

    Gold rates are same in every shop but making charges differ. Check 2-3 shops for rates before actual purchase.

    This street is just insane. Fun to walk through: Either someone tries to sell you some crappy rolex copywatches or they try to drag you into the gold shops.

    Shopping here is a trip back in time. Make sure you haggle with the merchants over the price of gold jewelry. It's part of the experience.

    This is a useful tip although a little weird. If you're in need of a clean toilet when in this area, head to the Gold Centre building :-)

    The guide says they are all honest here but try bargaining with them. Like offer 50% of what they ask and see the reaction

    Always busy. They should change the screens for the gold price. Doesn't feel fresh or modern.

    Make sure you check the price of gold and silver before you go. Don’t get ripped off. Do respect that these guys must make some profit to continue business.
