Just out of interest I thought the following experience in the Gold Souk worth relating.In 1999 I bought my wife a princess cut diamond ring comprising 14 close set diamonds which when I returned to the UK was valued at three times the price that I paid.Unfortunately in 2007 one of the stones came out and was lost. Quotes from... more

Dubai was our last stop before returning to Perth on our world trip mid june 2008. 4 days 3 nights trully were not enough to unravel Dubai. A week would be just perfect and spend a day at the gold souk (you'll need it!!!). Make sure you put a 'restraining collar' on your female spouse/girlfriend/partner because she'll go absolutely CRAZY!!... more

If i was going to give advice to anyone it would be to stick to simple jewellery. I had a ring designed and made by Mashoom Jewellers in the Gold Souk and the diamonds fell out twice. Although they did kindly replaced the diamond, it still fell out too easily. This also happened to another friend who bought from Mashoom... more

Gold Souk is definetly worth a visit where you have not seen so many shops in one strech selling gold. If you into buying gold then this is the place where you can bargain and buy some good Jewellery. Just have to be careful that you know what you buying and should know how to differentiate between a fake gold... more

I haven't been to the Gold Souk since 1998 when I was in the Navy, but it is an experience that I will never forget. I still wear the jewlery that I bought from there and it still looks like brand new. If I ever had to live anywhere else in the world it would be Dubai. I loved everything... more

I was in Dubia for the night and visited the Gold Souk. I had no problems getting there or leaving when in came time to get a taxi. Just remember where they dropped you off as this is the only place to get a taxi. Its not hard to get caught up in the awe of the shops. Make sure... more

I had the chance to visit the Gold Souk while in Dubai and have to say that it is worth seeing. The Gold Souk is a large area of shops all selling gold and diamond jewelry. Upon arriving the taxi drops you off on the main road and you have to walk about a block before you get to the... more

The Dubai gold souk is world renowned and on my first strip there many years ago I parted with a lot of money. On first sight the glitter of the shops can induce dizziness and that’s before you start spending money!! The souk itself is an area of side streets, mini malls and the main area and as I have... more

The Gold Souk in Dubai is worth a look. The prices are cheaper than many other parts of the world, but you need to really haggle to get the best price. Never believe it when someone says you don't need to haggle in their shop as their prices are already low.... of course they are not. There are many stores,... more
