Don't go on Friday as shops may not open, as happened with me. However some shops opened later and I was able to check the perfumes. The perfumes are largely based on perfume oils and are similar to Afghani fragrances however few shopkeepers have various oils with them and they can make various fragrances to your taste. I would have returned empty handed, if my driver would not have given me a phone number of a shopkeeper. I must say that the shopkeeper of perfume shop Al Waha was very nice and gave me good price for various perfumes. I bought 5 bottles and these perfumes stay on body or cloths. Oudh is a famous fragrance in Saudi continent and it feels like I'm in Dubai even when I use this fragrance at my home in india :). This shop is in front of gate of gold souk. U can trust him and this is the only issue when we go to other places and buy products. I didn't find branded international perfumes here but these local perfumes were good and cheap too. From rs 200-1000 you can get good fragrances. You can take oil also which are very good. You must go and keep whole day for this place ... You will check out gold souk also...

Read moreSo many different perfumes, it's a little insane. This is where you will see aggressive selling, buy its expected, right? The weather wasn't the best with the rain and we went on a Friday, which is their Holy day. There was a traffic jam because of the mass prayer, which was powerful to see. We just really wanted to grab souvenirs for a low price and we were able to do so. You can find spices, bags (unsure if they are real or not), clothes, shoes, pretty much everything. This is the old part of Dubai, and you can tell by how the living spaces are smaller and notably shorter than the tall buildings in...
