Shopping in Dubai

Shopping in Dubai is one of the most favorable activities for tourists from all over the world, as shopping is one of the main reasons why people come to the city. In this emirate, you can find everything from jewelry to world-famous luxury clothing brands. The main concern for tourists who want to shop in Dubai is the pricing policy in stores and malls within the city.

There are a huge number of retail outlets in the emirate with both tourists and residents spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping. However, it is not so easy to find out where specific items or products are sold and where to locate them. For this reason, we have prepared an article with a selection of the best places to shop in Dubai and some of the best shopping offers in the emirate.

In Dubai, one can find some very favorable offers on specific categories of products. The city's shops offer attractive retail prices for a variety of goods due to low import duties.

The production of precious metals is highly developed in Dubai and the storage of silver and gold bars is widespread across the city. Among all the Emirates in the UAE, only Dubai is called the "City of Gold", due to the leading derivatives exchange in the MENA region (the Middle East and North Africa) — Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX).

Gold futures of this exchange were launched with the introduction of a gold bullion futures contract in 2006. Due to The DGCX Gold Futures contract, an international reference price contract for gold is provided for investors, hedgers, speculators and arbitrageurs. The lot size is 32 troy ounces. Tick size is USD 0.10 per troy ounce and tick value is USD 3.2. Real-time prices are available under the marketwatch link on the DGCX website.

The market is located in the Deira district, Al Daghaya.

It is recommended to barter when choosing goods on Dubai Gold Souk. Before shopping, you can study the exchange prices for gold. In addition, at the entrance in front of the market, there is a scoreboard showing prices per gram for all types of metal.

The Gold & Diamond Park Mall is home to world-known jewellery brands and different stores which offer gold, silver, diamonds, gems, precious stones and accessories.
