The spice souk is an education for all of your senses. See and smell Myrrh, Frankincense and many other herbs, spices and fragrances. Visit before or after the Gold Souk and then go for a a ride up the creek.

When I travel somewhere, I always try to experience the local culture. Dubai is an international city,most of the attractions have nothing to do with the arabic culture, but one of the exceptions is the spice market. You can see the experience colours and smells of the spices, and also try the famous mint tea. You can also check Dubai... More

It a good thing to see, fast and unexpensive to do with family. Just near the gold souk. You will be happy to take back some nice spicy back such as Cinnamon, safrano, all kind of nuts...Very nice perfumes. They sell little roses, ginger... Don't forget to lowdown prices by 2 as they try to sell you twice the value!... More

In one of the store, an Iranian shopkeeper explained all about ginger, turmeric and different kinds of zaatar to me. Can be very educational if you ignore the repetitive attempts to lure you in byuing soemthing you never wanted to buy.

What an experience! To see these merchants busy buying and selling products all over the world. They are never to busy to attend the the tourist who maybe only buy a packett of Cashew nuts - real bussinessmen!

Just visit Spice market & Meena Bazaar for good shopping of perfumes, spices & excellent Dubai Chocolates. Must get the Le-chocolate, melting date & almond wrapped in chocolate. YUM. You can also pick some excellent dry fruits of Iranian origin.

A very nice place for all cooks and sensitive noses. Get ready to bargain and for some anoying "sellers" trying to sell you some copybags and copywatches.

right next to the gold souk. a fabulous place to see all the interesting spices...and gold. A must see.

Very interesting looking at the variety of stalls. We also visited the Gold souk which is next to this which was very interesting. Would recommend both.
