[2025 Dubai Attraction] Travel Guide for Grand Souk - Bur Dubai (Updated May)

#Spring0yenTrip Dubai Creek is a place where you can experience the historical side of Dubai. The Gold Souk is also nearby. The canal area is the complete opposite of the glittering modern buildings, with an old-fashioned Arabian landscape. You can take an abra (wooden boat) and relax on a cruise between Deira and Bur Dubai, or just walking around the river is very refreshing! There are souks, retro streets, and lots of local food along the river. The sunset is beautiful in the evening, and the lights are really fantastic at night, so a dinner cruise along the creek is highly recommended!! #DubaiCreek #DubaiCreek #DubaiTrip #MiddleEasternScenery #AbraExperience #LocalDubai 📍DubaiCreek

I went to a market called Dubai's souk. We crossed the river to get to the market by boat and went to the Gold Souk and Spice Souk markets. The view from the boat was beautiful. These are the first and second most famous souks in Dubai, so it was fun to see the many tourists. The shops lined with Middle Eastern spices and gold were simply overwhelming, and I think it's a rich country after all (lol). However, it's expensive for tourists, so it's better to shop elsewhere. #Dubai #UAE #0yentripFebruary2025
