Track 6-1 Our tour of Dubai’s souks begins at the Spice Souk. Shops here sell spices and food from all over the Middle East. Many shop owners here give you some of the food or spices to try. Next, let’s go to the Gold Souk. Dubai is often called “The City of Gold” and the shops here are famous for their jewelry. There are hundreds of shops in this souk, and visitors come from all over the world to shop here. In this souk, it’s important to bargain. A store owner’s first price is usually high. The last place on our tour is the Covered Souk. The shops here sell traditional shoes and clothing for men and women and items for the home. This is a good place to shop for a souvenir to take home.
