All are genuine so you don't need to worry about being ripped off, as you can also be scammed by street vendors.\n\nWhen you go through the huge wooden double gates at the entrance, you really feel like you're in Ali-Baba's cave! You will find one of the finest and most abundant gold and jewelry in the world.\n\nEach store has a different display in the window, and a master craftsman in each store is on hand to personalize any item you wish to purchase. You'll find traditional or modern jewelry in blue, red, pink, white or yellow gold, platinum and sometimes silver.\n\nThere are no price tags attached to the items and if you ask for the price it will seem expensive, but you can haggle and you can cut the price in half if you are good at bartering. Even if you're new to the game, just remember to keep a poker face and don't worry about pretending to give up and turn away. If you don't get what you want in one store, you'll find it in another and the dealers know this, so it's a good trick to lower the price.\n\nTip:\nNegotiate and get at least 15-20% discount on charge as gold price by weight and quality is generally fixed.\nOpen year-round, it especially comes alive in the evening when it shines and sparkles everywhere.\n\nBusiness hours:\nSaturday-Thursday: 9:30 - 21:30; Friday: 16:00 - 21:30"},{"metadata":{"width":540,"height":960},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ff0NQ5A919lJfIz4yIHd2%2FSnaptik_7057160966450040090_deelan-girl.mp4?alt=media&token=b00f64d2-fa39-4ec9-bb5f-f897368a8b69"}]},{"address":"Dubai Spice Souk","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":25.267006207495392,"longitude":55.296293500000004},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Dubai Spice Souk"},{"metadata":{"width":700,"height":438},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ff0NQ5A919lJfIz4yIHd2%2Fcho-gia-vi-spice-souk-4.jpg?alt=media&token=c900e8e3-aae0-4880-a6d3-af0d5db94056"},{"type":"text","content":"The Spice Souk appeals to anyone who enjoys the spices that make ordinary dishes great.
