Dubai Gold Souk

Dubai Gold Souk or Gold Souk (Arabic: سوق الذهب), is a traditional market (or souk) in Dubai, UAE. The souk is located in Dubai's commercial business district in Deira, in the locality of Al Ras. The souk consists of over 380 retailers, most of whom are jewelry traders. As of 2020, some of the shops are four decades old, while others are new. The market mainly deals in the sale of gold, platinum, and silver jewelry as well as bullion; loose diamonds and color stones are also sold.

Dubai Gold Souk is bordered to the north by the Dubai Fish and Vegetable Market and the Deira Corniche near Baniyas Square at Sikkat al-Khali Street which is in close proximity to the Deira Bus Stand. On the other side of the Dubai Creek lies Dubai Textile Souk.

As of September 2024, the Souk was soon to be renovated. The Dubai Municipality plans to make Dubai Gold Souk an upbeat tourist destination.
