2) The Meena Bazaar is a great place where you will find exquisite Indian jewellery, clothes and other Indian products. The Indian population in Dubai is quite momentous which explains the presence of this market. The market also has two Hindu temples for the devotees to visit. Apart from the usual shopping goods, you can also find some great gold shops in the area. Meena Bazaar is synonymous with old-style shopping in Dubai.
4) Gold Souk The gold souk is one of the biggest gold markets in the world. Here you will find all kinds of gold jewellery both traditional and contemporary. Also, the duty-free shopping works as an additional icing on the cake.
3) Perfume Souk A treat to your senses, the Perfume Souk offers you a variety of perfumes, incense sticks, essential oils and the traditional oud, the scent of Dubai. Situated on the Sikkat Al Khail Road, Deira, this souk can be easily reached by going to the east of the Gold Souk.
