400;\">Gold Souk in Dubai is the largest market of its kind in the entire world. Initially, there were just a few gold sellers in this traditional gold market. But the market eventually grew in 4 decades as a result of the perfect geographical location of the city. Besides the huge collection of gold, there are currently various precious metals sold in the souk including white gold, diamonds and Platinum. Therefore, it is said that a visit to Dubai is incomplete without a day-long stroll in the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shoppers_can_Showcase_their_Bargaining_Skills_in_the_Market\"><\/span>Shoppers can Showcase their Bargaining Skills in the Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93931120_m.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Shoppers\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93931120_m.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93931120_m-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93931120_m-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93931120_m-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you read it right. Gold can be bargained in the market. You can negotiate with the sellers and grab exclusive gold items at much lower prices. You might have heard about the textile industry of Coimbatore where buyers bargain to reach unbelievable prices. But, here in the gold market of Dubai, you can purchase gold at incredibly competitive rates like nowhere else in the world. This is because of the tough competition among dealers which is a plus point for buyers. So, gear up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/gold-and-diamond-in-the-uae-gldart\">gold shopping in Dubai<\/a> in any kind of package the very next time you fly down to the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Large_Number_of_Gold_Shop_Vendors_will_Entice_You\"><\/span>A Large Number of Gold Shop Vendors will Entice You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we make a rough count of the number of gold vendors in the Street of Gold in Dubai, we will come across more than 380 in the number. While strolling through the market, you will certainly be induced to at least have a look at the variety they are selling which will further lead to buying many glorious jewellery pieces. This glimpse cannot be experienced in any corner across the globe. It is because of the tight competition among the vendors in this traditional market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Guinness_World_Record_in_the_Market\"><\/span>A Guinness World Record in the Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While walking through these streets of the market, you will come across an extensive glass case where you can spot the largest ring of the world holding the World Guinness Record. This stunning art piece is known as the Star of Taiba or simply as \u201cNajmat Taiba\u201d. The world-famous Taiba Gold and Saudi Arabia Jewellery sculpted this expensive ring.

Surprisingly, the 5.1 kg of the entire weight of this world\u2019s heaviest ring is crafted of exquisite stones only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_Souk_is_Extremely_Huge_than_Spice_Souk\"><\/span>Gold Souk is Extremely Huge than Spice Souk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/59899075_m.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Souk\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/59899075_m.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/59899075_m-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/59899075_m-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/59899075_m-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 10 tons of gold is managed in the gold market of Dubai on a daily basis. Tourists as well as locals, both love to stroll along the streets of the Gold Souk more than discovering the Spice Souk in the vicinity. Most of the tourists visit the city just to buy Gold ornaments from the world\u2019s largest gold market in Dubai. Moreover, several covered alleys in the market have originated from a renowned courtyard. Besides, the adjacent roads to the markets are also chock full of shops storing countless gold accessories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shoppers_Can_Also_Find_an_Interesting_Variety_of_Strange_Accessories_in_the_Market\"><\/span>Shoppers Can Also Find an Interesting Variety of Strange Accessories in the Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the entire concentration of the shops in the market is on selling their gold pieces and other accessories, you can also find an impressive variety of some strange jewellery pieces. You cannot even expect such interesting stuff while shopping in the market. This stuff includes fancy head scarfs, sunglasses, sassy belly dance outfits and Kafiyahs for men. However, the market has separate alleys where such kinds of stuff are sold. These alleys target the tourist folks in the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Buyers_Purchase_Them_for_Investment_Purposes_But_Not_to_Wear_them\"><\/span>Most Buyers Purchase Them for Investment Purposes But Not to Wear them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since most of the gold ornaments sold in the Souk are extremely heavy, buyers prefer to buy them as a form of investment. However, the delicate pieces of the yellow metal, which are rarely sold here, are purchased for wearing purposes. The locals in the city buy gold ornaments to give as dowries. Therefore, those pieces are displayed once as show off at weddings but are seldom worn later. Still, people from the local and neighbourhood regions visit the market and buy around 5-6 gold ornaments every year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tourists_Visit_Here_for_Sightseeing\"><\/span>Tourists Visit Here for Sightseeing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/122640186_m.jpg\" alt=\"tourist buying gold\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/122640186_m.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/122640186_m-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/122640186_m-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/122640186_m-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The patterns and designs of the gold ornaments sold in the market are unique, intricate and sheer Arabic. Be it the headgear style of colossal necklaces, earrings, rings, bangles or bracelets, each accessory is sculpted in the most traditional pattern. So if you are holidaying in the city, you can discover the Gold Souk to sneak into the Emiratis\u2019 culture and tradition. Furthermore, these ornaments resemble the lacquer-made artificial jewellery pieces available in the famed Choori Bazaar of Hyderabad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Longest_Chain_of_the_World_of_Dubai_Shopping_Festival_1999\"><\/span>The Longest Chain of the World of Dubai Shopping Festival (1999)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is yet another proud reason for which Dubai gained popularity all over the world in 1999. A 4.2 kilometre long-chain constructed out of 22 karat gold was designed in the city then. Post the launch of this extensive chain at the Dubai Shopping Festival, around 9600 buyers cut it short and reconstructed it to several necklaces.
