People who like to visit traditional shops and souks (markets) when they are on holiday must visit the local bazaars and souks (Golden Souk, Spice Souk, Souk Madinat and Souk al Bahar among others) where you can haggle your price, which is normal and fun to do in Dubai. Whether you want souvenirs, vintage bargains or something from a young designer, the markets guarantee a perfect weekend trip in Dubai. For products from Dubai or the Arabian regio like clothing, essential oils, incense, herbs or traditional water pipes you best go to the smaller shops most of which are in the districts of Bur Dubai and Deira because prices are much higher in the shopping centres.
