All that glitters can be found in the legendary Deira Gold Souk, where more than 350 retailers offer every type and quality of the precious element in forms ranging from rings and bracelets to bags, dresses and even crowns. A magnet for visitors for four decades, the market is renowned for selling gold pieces for less than the amount asked elsewhere, but be willing to haggle with the vendors for the best price. It’s part of the fun of the experience when soaking up the unique culture of this old quarter of the city.
