If you are interested in buying 18k or 22k gold this is the place to go. There are many people here from around the world looking to strike a deal. Take a look around because no two stores are alike, everyone sells something unique. We were never pressured into a purchase and we must have visited at least 20 stores.... More

I was very disappointed with my first experience at the gold souk. Arshi Jewellers ripped me off. The assistants assure you they are selling at the gold rate , but I was totally ripped off. They charged me 20 dirhams per gram above the rate. I suggest you carry a calculator and visit many stores and write down what rate... More

The Souks are the place to go to shop for sure. If you want to buy gold you need to know the current market price & shop around as with any purchase. Bargain, know what you are prepared to pay & be firm, but polite. There are other souks in the area. They are fun to look around, with atmosphere... More

To say that the Gold Souk is a must-see, I can agree with that. If you want to experience it, by all means come down and check it out. But here's the deal. You're going to get hassled fifteen times every time you pass a shop that looks exactly like the previous one. You're going to pay way too much... More

careful, you are likely to be grabbed by a local and "steered" to a shop owned by his brother where he will sell you the same as what the shops sell for half the price. Expect to be ripped off and don't go anywhere with a local. Stay in the shops and don't talk to strangers.

It was suggested we check out the Gold Souk. It was an experience but certainly not a 'must see'. My wife loves jewellery but there is just SO much to see that shop after shop blurs into one. You are constantly accosted with offers to buy, buy, buy - not only jewellery, but as they say, 'copy' handbags, belts and... More
