Dubai Gold District — Local services in Dubai

We usually visit the Old Gold Souk, but this time, we explored the Gold Souk Extension, located just opposite the original. Parking was convenient with an underground facility, though getting in and out was slightly busy. Compared to the old souk, the extension was much quieter, with many of the same renowned jewelry brands.

Overall, it was a pleasant visit, as the fewer crowds made it easier to explore. The extension is beautifully designed, offering a relaxed shopping experience.

Located near the Old Gold Souk in Deira, close to Infinity Bridge, this place is highly recommended, especially for tourists. You’ll find comfortable restaurants, cafés, and mesmerizing lights, along with ample space for walking. The shopping experience is superb, featuring exquisite jewelry stores. Additionally, Madina Supermarket, perfume shops, and dining options are available.

There’s also a lovely seating area near Infinity Bridge, making it a great spot for families and children. The metro and bus stop are just 500 meters away, ensuring easy accessibility.

A must-visit...

Many times people drove across the zebra crossing while we were in the middle of the road. They almost drove over and...
