The gold market in Dubai is great. You can wonder around the streets forever. There is so much happening, the smell in the air is funny, the people are friendly and if you are buying jewellery the possibilities are endless!

Normal high street market with number of jewellery shops in an area of 2 kms. Good part is the creek which flows right in front. I found it to be very basic and we do get better designs in India. Probably not my cup of tea. Try exploring other Dubai treats than just this souk... Cheers!!

Its in the old part of Dubai along the river. It has a somewhat traditional feel, where you can haggle for a decent price. I believe its the largest gold souk in the world. A little bit of annoyance but also funny when guys come up to you to buy bootleg stuff.

I wasn't so impressed by the gold, but rather watching the world's rich converge in one corner of the Arabian Desert, namely Dubai's Gold Souk, to spend their fortunes and one-up their neighbors with their golden goods.

The gold shops are worth window shopping around. Even if it is just to look at some of the huge (and often ugly) rings.

I came home with a small diamond ring for about a 30% discount on the price in Australia.
