Why choose this Dubai tour ?

This private 6-hour walking tour with an experienced English-speaking guide is a fantastic and efficient way to explore souks in Dubai!

Souks radiate the Arabian charm as you can gift yourself or your loved ones. An important thing to note is that a Souk works on haggling and negotiation, this is done in Middle Eastern cultures such as the markets of Dubai where it is considered an acceptable and expected part of the purchasing process such that their customers can get the best deals.

From precious jewels at the famous Gold Souk to the scented whispers of spices telling you about the East in the Spice Souk where dry fruits are waiting to be tasted, to the rich fragrance of the Arabian Culture in the perfume Souk – each provides a heritage-filled experience.

You can customize your tour directly with the guide after placing your reservation.

Note*1 :Please craft your itinerary by choosing 2 to 4 spots on the ‘what to expect’ list to create your itinerary.

What makes Dubai 6 hr Souq Hopping Private Tour with Certified Guide a unique experience ?

Fondly known as the Dubai Clocktower, the Deira Clocktower is a historical monument on the intersection of Umm Hurair Road and D89. Stop by this photo-worthy attraction that represents the rapid commercial development of Dubai.

The tower is a key landmark signifying the first land-crossing between Deira and Bur Dubai, across the Al Maktoum bridge. It was also the first connecting point for major routes leading to Dubai, before the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Road was constructed.

Built in 1963, the clocktower remains an iconic symbol signifying access to the bridge, as well as being a distinguishable clock in the city. It was renovated in 1972 but remains the same, revamped with sturdier materials.

Dubai’s Spice Souk is a colourful, aromatic and sensory experience. Discover new flavours and recipes as you explore the traditional spice market in Dubai’s heritage area.

Savour the atmosphere of the past as you are introduced to the mounds of aromatic herbs and spices, all spilling from large baskets at every turn. Spices are sold both by weight and in packets. Like other souks, you can save money when you buy in bulk quantities – and vendors expect you to haggle.

A trip to Dubai isn’t complete without a visit to the famous Gold Souk, one of the oldest and most fascinating traditional markets in the emirate. Whether you’re just browsing, or genuinely on the hunt for even the smallest amount of precious gold, walk through the glittering bazaar to find designs from around the world crafted with a variety of carats.

Long lines of market stalls showcase a myriad of authentic and eye-catching products – you never know when you’ll spot something special for you and your loved ones. All merchandise is carefully regulated by the Dubai government to ensure the authenticity of the quality you receive.

Follow your nose to the Perfume Souk and you will discover new aromas before you even arrive. Fragrance is a key hallmark of Arabian life, represented by the exotic array of scents you’ll pick up wherever you go. Some are mild, others more evident, while some are particularly potent – but each one will draw you in with a natural sense of inquisition as you decide which one is right for you.

Dubai’s Perfume Souk will draw your attention in multiple directions, with every changing breeze likely to divert you to its piquant source.

Head to the historic Bur Dubai neighbourhood and discover a number of vibrant fabrics at the Textile Souk. You can skim through an endless selection of raw silk, cotton and embroidered materials at this bazaar. You’re bound to find the exact print and colour you’re looking for among the hundreds of reels of cloth.

Located just across Dubai Creek from many other popular souks, visitors will encounter dozens of shops and stalls at the famous market. Vendors offer the finest fabrics and patterns from around the world, sure to jazz up any wardrobe. In addition to the various fabrics on offer, you’ll also find a plethora of buttons, sequins, stones, lace and other accessories to help you add a touch of Arabian flair to your entire collection.

The bustling Deira Waterfront Market is one every foodie’s checklist. Although it has always been a popular souk and a visitor favorite for many years, recent renovations have resulted in a much bigger and better establishment.

The original Deira Fish Market – which served customers since 1958 – underwent a modern-day upgrade in mid-2017, resulting in the birth of a state-of-the-art urban facility with the charm of a traditional marketplace.

Deira Creekside runs alongside the stretch of Dubai Creek that divides the city’s older neighbourhoods of Bur Dubai and Deira. The creek that we know today was constructed in 1961, although it has been the lifeline of the area for centuries, serving as Dubai’s main connection to the rest of the world.

Now the inlet is a representation of Dubai’s rich heritage as a port city. You will be in awe of the gorgeous sunsets over the water, colourful criss-cross of the passing abra and dhow boats, and the hustle and bustle of merchants near the Dhow Wharfage.

Naif Souk’s shops are a great general space for a variety of Middle Eastern goods and services such as regional garments, henna designs and hair extensions. It is popular with local women for its selection of abayas. Abaya prices in Naif Souk can vary anywhere from AED40 to AED200 and more – but remember to bargain. For something special, there is a wide range of glamorous full-length dresses to choose from too.

Find great value items including leather goods, textiles, electronics and more. There’s no better marketplace from which to take home little goodies and keepsakes. And, if the weather is good, take a short walk from here to the Gold Souk and Spice Souk, experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of day-to-day life in Deira along the way.

Nestled between the five-star Mina A’Salam and Al Qasr hotels, Souk Madinat Jumeirah is for those who want to skip the haggling, but enjoy the thrill of souk-style shopping. Wander the labyrinth of narrow lanes in search of fun souvenirs, fine art and sculptures. Pop into the many local and international design houses or enjoy a meal by the waterside. Complete your visit with a traditional abra ride and drink in the views of the beautiful Burj Al Arab in the distance.

Just a short and scenic stroll over the footbridge that arches across Burj Lake at the base of Burj Khalifa, Souk Al Bahar is a modern take on a traditional Arabian marketplace. Here, you can stock up on dates, fragrances, jewellery, souvenirs and more. Upstairs, with its wide-slung windows, is one of the best vantage points from which to enjoy a meal while watching evening shows of The Dubai Fountain.

A neighbourhood steeped in history, Al Seef is the place for visitors looking to shop, dine and stay. Every building façade here has been designed to take you back to Dubai’s past, from the market stalls right down to restaurants, and the effect is simply delightful. The blended shopping experience combines classic souk-themed stores with modern gift shops. Find intricate craftsmanship and traditional handiwork alongside top fashion labels that offer you the best of luxury and style.
