Spice Souk

Research-ledBuilt from current sources, not a visit. Checked .

Citorah says

The Spice Souk is a short walk from the abra station, and the Gold Souk is near it. Go to look, and to haggle: Visit Dubai’s advice is to “engage in some friendly bartering”, and to pay in cash, because shops often charge extra for credit cards.

From 4 Days in Dubai 2026: Downtown, Old Dubai, a Beach Club and the Desert, Day by Day, under “Day 2: Old Dubai and the creek”.

Good to know

When
Visit Dubai says the Spice Souk is closed during the day on Fridays.
Getting there
The Green Line’s Gold Souq and Al Ras stations serve the souks, and Visit Dubai puts Al Ras an eight-minute walk from the Spice Souk.
