The place where the shops are, on both side of the road, starts from the Karama fish market and is quite long. Even when it is... More

.. If u live anywhere on the Indian sub-continent, Karama will feel like home .. & for good reason .. Most shops are run by people from this part of the world .. & the goods come from here too .. its very close to the metro station & known to all cabbies .. roam around at will :)

If you want fake that is good fake this is the best place. Often I can't tell this fake products from real. If you want watches or bags they will take you upstairs to a "hidden" room. You must be firm and say no an leave if you don't want any caus they don't give up but when you fin... More

Small shops packed with lots of (copy high brand) stuff (clothes, shoes, bags, watches, sportgear, you name it..).

Sometimes they have hidden shops above the... More

The Al Karama market is well known as a place to buy designer copies in Dubai. It has that and a lot of other things too.
