Must-visit spots on your trip to Dubai! 3 souks to immerse yourself in an extraordinary Arabian experience

We will guide you to a local market that is perfect for souvenir hunting! Go on a treasure hunting journey through the Arabian world! ⸻ ① Gold Souk👑 A glittering world of gold! Great for photos and shopping. 🚇How to get there → About 5 minutes walk from Dubai Metro Al Ras Station → You can also access it by abra (water taxi) across Dubai Creek (from the Old Souk direction) ⏰Opening hours Saturday to Thursday: 9:30-21:30 / Friday: 16:00-21:30 (some breaks during the day) ⸻ ② Spice Souk🧂 A colorful and fragrant space. Recommended for finding Middle Eastern spice souvenirs! 🚇How to get there → Located right next to the Gold Souk. It is convenient to access it by using Al Ras Station or Abra. ⏰Opening hours Saturday-Thursday: 10:00-22:00 / Friday: 16:00-22:00 (Some stores are closed during the day) ⸻ ③ Old Souk (Textile Souk) 🪔 A retro market where you can feel the old Dubai. A wide selection of fabrics, lamps, and miscellaneous goods! 🚇How to get there → About 10 minutes walk from Al Fahidi Metro Station → Take an Abra (water taxi) to the Spice Souk side and cross the creek ⏰Opening hours Saturday-Thursday: 9:00-20:00 / Friday: 16:00-20:00 (with lunch break) ⸻ [Save this] Introducing the "3 major souks" you must visit in Dubai! Dubai has a strong image of skyscrapers, but walking through an Arabian market is also very emotional. ▼The three souks we visited▼ ① Gold Souk: A glittering array of gold accessories ② Spice Souk: A treasure trove of colorful and fragrant Middle Eastern spices ③ Old Souk: A retro, nostalgic, general goods paradise Each souk can be easily visited on foot or by abra, making it a perfect place to stop by between sightseeing. Bargaining is also one of the best parts of traveling! Be sure to enjoy shopping that is unique to the area. ⸻ ⛵️Abra (water taxi): A one-way fare of 1 dirham (about 40 yen) gives you a real local feel! Many stores are closed during the day, so the best time to go is in the morning to before noon or after the evening! #Visiting Dubai souks #Gold souk #Spice souk #Old souk #Arabian goods #Middle East travel #Dubai travel diary #Girls' trip plan #I want to connect with people who love to travel #The charm of Dubai #Solo female traveler #Exotic atmosphere #Dubai tourist spots #Abra boat experience #Photogenic trip
