Dubai Souks: A Shopaholics Dream Come True!

Well known for its exciting shopping experiences

, Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, is a famous destination for both tourists and businessmen alike. The Emirate with its distinction of being a global business hub attracts a number of people travelling for business purposes as well tourists who come to the emirate to witness great achievements like the worlds tallest tower, underwater hotels and manmade islands of the city.

The Emirates reputation for providing exciting shopping experiences is not overstated. Whether it is clothes, electronics, gold or spices, the shops in the area will cater to your every shopping need. In reality, souks are a assembly of shops where different types of goods can be purchased whilst traditional souks, also known as Arabic markets, were set up adjacent to the docks so that once goods were transported from countries such as China and Sri Lanka, one would be able to buy, sell and exchange goods at these souks.

At present, souks still exist even though theyve been scaled down considerably and the majority of Dubai souks can be found in Bur Dubai and Deira. As these areas are separated by the Dubai Creek, shoppers can have the added experience of hopping onto a small boat from Bur Dubai and making a short boating excursion as well to reach Deira.

The Emirate is well known for its cheap gold and a visit to a Gold Souk is essential if you wish to purchase gold jewellery for a fraction of the cost. Fortunately for the consumers, the gold as well as other precious stones available for purchase at these souks is often genuine and this can be attributed to strict government regulations. For those seeking textiles with a beautiful intricate design or a classy simple look, the textile souks are a godsend. These souks are adorned with bright coloured materials of all lengths and sizes and are located on Al Fahidi Street, Bur Dubai. Further, if you wish to witness exciting aromatic perfumes found in exotic glass bottles, visit a perfume souk on Sikkat Al Khail Street.
