Dubai Shopping Festival Tours

A city known for its ultramodern architecture, skyscraper-filled skyline, luxury shopping, and lively nightlife, Dubai, in the last few years has become a highly visited tourist destination. Oil revenues helped accelerate the development of the city, and today, Dubai has become a global transport hub for passengers and cargo. Although the revenues from oil reserves have dried up and now the contribution is only 5%, the global city now thrives on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.

Shopping at souks paints you a picture of how the trade market looked like in Dubai before the skyscrapers came in. Be sure to bargain at the souks and start by halving the price quoted. You should be able to settle by paying 75% of the original offer. Also, carry cash as cards are often not accepted at these souks.

Here are some must-visit souks of Dubai.

Gold Souk - It is the world’s largest gold market with over 380 retailers who are primarily jewellery traders.

If you change your mind and do decide to buy, try out your haggling skills and settle on a good bargain. Also, don’t stress about the quality as the merchandise are heavily regulated by the government and the chances of rip-offs are rare.
