The Gold Soul is amazing just for she sheer size of it. Stores upon stores offering bracelets, necklaces, pins, broaches, etc. However, do not expect a "bargain." However, you may receive value for the purchases you make. To break it down, the only thing you can haggle on is the "making" charge. There are two charges that equal the cost... more

Total rip off, they did not allow me to smell the saffron so shame on me for not seeing that as the first sign of a rip off. the quality of hte safron (i bought iranian and spanish) is horrible. Luckily I bought it for just a few dollars but now I don't have gifts to give to people. Bummer.... more

I have been going to Dubai almost every year since 1998. I have always had a great experience until my recent trip. I went to Dubai again this summer (2008) to have a ring repaired that i bought from the Gold Souk. My husband had bought me a diamond ring from a shop in the Gold Souk that i had... more

Just out of interest I thought the following experience in the Gold Souk worth relating.In 1999 I bought my wife a princess cut diamond ring comprising 14 close set diamonds which when I returned to the UK was valued at three times the price that I paid.Unfortunately in 2007 one of the stones came out and was lost. Quotes from... more

Dubai was our last stop before returning to Perth on our world trip mid june 2008. 4 days 3 nights trully were not enough to unravel Dubai. A week would be just perfect and spend a day at the gold souk (you'll need it!!!). Make sure you put a 'restraining collar' on your female spouse/girlfriend/partner because she'll go absolutely CRAZY!!... more

If i was going to give advice to anyone it would be to stick to simple jewellery. I had a ring designed and made by Mashoom Jewellers in the Gold Souk and the diamonds fell out twice. Although they did kindly replaced the diamond, it still fell out too easily. This also happened to another friend who bought from Mashoom... more

Gold Souk is definetly worth a visit where you have not seen so many shops in one strech selling gold. If you into buying gold then this is the place where you can bargain and buy some good Jewellery. Just have to be careful that you know what you buying and should know how to differentiate between a fake gold... more

I haven't been to the Gold Souk since 1998 when I was in the Navy, but it is an experience that I will never forget. I still wear the jewlery that I bought from there and it still looks like brand new. If I ever had to live anywhere else in the world it would be Dubai. I loved everything... more

I was in Dubia for the night and visited the Gold Souk. I had no problems getting there or leaving when in came time to get a taxi. Just remember where they dropped you off as this is the only place to get a taxi. Its not hard to get caught up in the awe of the shops. Make sure... more
