Recommendations and Tips for visiting Gold Souk in Dubai

 Tips for visiting Gold Souk in Dubai:

• The amount of time you spend at the Gold Souk depends on your interest.

   If you include other Souk visits and surrounding areas in Old Dubai, then it can be an all-day activity. 

• Come early or late evening as Gold Souk shops will be closed from 1pm till 4pm.

• Ignore the guys approaching the Gold Souk Market street and the surrounding area trying to sell fake items.

• Combine the Gold Souk visit with other attractions in old Dubai like Spice Souk (Market), Dubai Museum, and Al Fahidi Fort.

• If you do not know much about purchasing gold, then you should avoid buying any gold in this Dubai Gold Souk market.

• Do research on Gold price, shop/brand, design before purchasing any Gold Jewelry market.

If you are planning to purchase gold:

• make sure to buy from a store in Dubai and not a stall.  

• Know the market price of Gold in the Karat weight you are looking for so that you can negotiate accordingly.  

• The stores will have a rate of gold per karat posted in and outside their stores.

  Since the government regularly monitors these stores, the gold rate will be the same in all stores in the Gold Souk.

  This gold weight price is generally non-negotiable.

• Negotiate the price on the Make work, which is the design charge. The more detailed the design, the higher the price will be.  

• Shop around and take your time.  

• Many shops accept credit cards but are willing to reduce their price further for cash.
