Deira Gold Souk

A real treasure trove in Dubai, the Gold Souk is quite impressive. With over 300 retailers selling gold, silver, and precious stones, the aisles of this unique market are dazzling. It’s actually one of the largest gold markets in the world—and one of the cheapest too, so why not treat yourself to a little souvenir? The reason why this market exists is because it’s tradition here to buy gold for special occasions, such as births and weddings. A symbol of luxury and eternity, gold is right at home in a city as extravagant as Dubai, don’t you think? By the way, it is said there are more than 25 tons of gold here… Earrings, bracelets, rings, watches—there’s something for everyone! Rest assured, every piece of jewelry is inspected by the Dubai government before being put on display, so it’s all solid gold—and often of even higher quality than what you’d find in typical jewelry stores. So go ahead and take your time exploring this one-of-a-kind market! You might even come across the largest gold ring in the world, made with over 5 kilos of precious stones!
