Gift & Specialty Shop Shopping

Survey the rainbow of colorful fabrics on display at Textile Souk. Cotton, embroidered fabrics, and raw silk are among the various cloths found at the market. Decorative extras to adorn outfits, such as buttons, lace, and sequins are also in abundance. Even if fabrics aren’t your thing, consider taking the water taxi to the market, which gives you panoramic views of the surrounding neighborhoods. If you do take a taxi, remember to negotiate; prices are rarely static. Work out when and for how long to visit Textile Souk and other Dubai attractions using our handy Dubai itinerary planner.

Where to stay in Dubai

Dubai is a city of hotels, with most of the world's leading chains represented. Rooms remain expensive and luxurious, as most establishments cater to visitors with deeper pockets. You can still save money on accommodations if you look hard enough. Move away from the coast for more affordable backpacker hostels and self-service apartments, as well as less expensive hotel rooms where a lack of luxurious amenities and less appealing views keep rates suited to budget travelers.

Traditional bazaar-style shops that showcase a wide variety of Arabic, Indian and oriental clothing with wholesale options. Additionally, one also finds a variety of spices, traditional incense and handicrafts from a bygone era. Be warned though: One needs to be a savvy, street-smart shopper with a knack for bargaining and conversant in local language (Arabic, Hindi, Urdu etc) in order to make the best deals ;)

A lot of the stores sell similar or the exact same items for varying prices, but the vendors are unwilling to match the better price that the guy across the street is advertising. Nice wares to be found for good prices, but not the best shopping I've found. There are some extremely kind and helpful shopowners to be found here.
