Know before you go

Dress modestly out of respect for the traditional area. The souks are busiest in the cooler evening hours. Carry some cash in dirhams for small purchases and the abra fare.

How to reach

Take the Dubai Metro Green Line to Al Ras station, a short walk from the Gold Souk. The tour starts at the Gold Souk's main arched entrance in Deira.
