The Deira Gold Souk is the most concentrated jewellery market in the world - over 300 shops packed under a wooden-arched arcade, selling 18ct, 21ct and 22ct gold jewellery priced by weight plus negotiable making charges. The quality is consistently high and the sheer variety (traditional Arabic designs, Indian goldwork, modern minimalist pieces, set-stone pieces) means you can find virtually anything in a single walk-through. Custom work is widely available - bring a reference image and most shops can replicate or adapt a design. Making charges are the key negotiation point; the gold price itself is fixed to the international daily rate.
