Visiting traditional markets in exotic places

With increasing interest in foreign cultures, more and more people enjoy exploring traditional local markets. The thriving market not only showcases the local history and culture, but also allows visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the local art, craftsmanship, and handmade products. In these markets, one can always discover many mysterious and unique treasures.

Perfume Souk

Located on Sikkat Al Khail Road near the Dubai Gold Souk, dozens of perfume shops line up offering a variety of different scents. Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea perfume is particularly popular here. The perfume bottles are all designed in traditional Arabic style, making them very beautiful and suitable as exquisite gifts. However, the scents here are very strong and may not necessarily suit the taste of people from the East, so take your time to choose the fragrance you like.

Mina Bazaar

Mina Bazaar is a medium-sized, bustling market with a prime location, filled with the rich cultural atmosphere of Dubai. Here you can find various small goods and handmade crafts, brimming with the folk customs of Asia and the Middle East.

Souk Al Bahar

Souk Al Bahar (Arabic for 'Sailor's Market') is a modern version of a traditional-style market, featuring intricate exteriors and spicy aromas. The market houses over 100 shops offering exquisite Arabian handicrafts such as jewelry, carpets, and textiles. Compared to the markets in the old town, the crafts here are more design-oriented and refined. From here, one can experience the unique charm formed by the fusion of Dubai's history, present, and future.

Naif Souq Market

In the old town of Dubai, there is a large market offering a variety of interesting goods, such as antique silver jewelry boxes, amber beads, coral beads, and more. It is especially suitable for those who love vintage trinkets. In the evening, the market not only has performances and food stalls but also Middle Eastern style restaurants where you can enjoy a variety of delicious specialties from Lebanon and other places. It's not to be missed~
