Husband loved it, personally I found it a bit too much in your face and a bit intimidating for a female.Some of the sellers almost drag you into their shops and it take a lot of persuasion to get past them. It is very colourful and I rate it as "an experience". Tip : if you are staying in the Marina or on the Walk, a RTA ferry is AED50 and takes you to/from the souk, and is a great way to see Dubai and The Palm from the sea.

Always haggle and ask if you will get a tax refund at the airport for gold jewellery purchased

Too touristy now

Nice and interesting place to visit. I'm sure there's some bargains available but beware fake stuff - e.g. Rolex watches. The 'Sales chaps' outside each shop were a bit too much. Often wouldn't take no for an answer.

Mainly for brides to be and their families doing dowry shopping. Worth having a look.

If going to the Gold souk take the passenger ferry across to the silk souk and onto the new Al Seef it is a bustling destination, spread over 1.8km, and rooted in Dubai’s culture and heritage, with a charming atmosphere that resonates throughout its distinct heritage and contemporary areas. It feels like you are in a film set, new shops and restuarants.
