Therefore, take advantage of luxury transportation and a driver-guide for shopping and bartering advice on this private tour to learn the best places to shop. Explore the ancient Gold and Spice Souks of Dubai, look through hidden textile and imitation designer markets, and shop at upscale stores for jewelry and clothing—all with a private vehicle waiting to pick you up and transport you and your belongings back to the airport.
We begin the fun shopping excursion with a trip to the souks, which are the region's traditional markets. You will appreciate strolling around the sparkling gold souks, which are home to several gold shops. Here, you can choose a few trinkets from the historic Meena Bazaar, which is constantly bustling with activity.
It's not far to the Spice Souk, where you may learn the techniques used to create the delectable flavors of Arabian food. The enormous 150,000 square-meter Dragon Mart with its seven exotic and varied retail zones will be your next stop. As many as 3,000 shops that sell an astoundingly diverse range of things, from fashion and home décor to electronics and even office supplies, can be found in this complex, which is the largest complex selling Chinese products outside of China.
There is also the Karama Market, which will astound you with its incredible variety of shops and stalls. It's a full-service shopping experience where you can choose from the newest in stylish clothing from high-end retailers or some special souvenirs like sparkling pieces of gold jewelry.
The traditional souks also sell hand-made carpets with exquisite designs for dirt cheap prices. You won't find a shopping experience like this in any other city in the entire world. No surprise Dubai is referred to be the shopping capital of the Middle East.
