Old Dubai

 

Old Dubai is interesting to visit if you know where you’re going ahead of time. One of the most talked about areas is the Gold Souk where you can walk around the marketplace and shop for various things, specifically jewelry. Items here can be overpriced and not of high quality, but it is still fun to walk around and see what the stores have to offer.

The Tips

 
  • There are a lot of high pressure salespeople in this area.

  • Expect to bargain excessively. Many items are marked up by over 50%.

  • Know what you are looking at before deciding to purchase. Items can be overpriced.

 
  • Some salespeople will attempt to lead you off the main strip and into the alleyways where there are smaller shops. You should avoid being lured into them as they tend to be excessive with their sales pressure and tactics. Safety is also a potential concern.
