Dubai is the capital of replicas. The Souk Madinat Jumeirah is a Souk that opened in 2004 in the hotel, leisure and business centre Madinat Jumeirah. Like on traditional Arabian markets you find little lanes illuminated by lanterns, narrow waterways and 95 small boutiques and retailers.

 

The offer ranges from Converse sneakers and ties from the Tie Shop, to gold jewellery, fragrances, handiworks, carpets, cashmere, decorative knick-knacks for your apartment and underwear by Cotton Club and watches by Swatch. The focus lies on antiquities, handicraft and high-quality oriental groceries.

 

For those among you who are still searching for some souvenirs and presents: here you will definitely find some nice shiny gifts for your beloved ones at home. But: Price comparison pays off. Many goods at this tourist attraction are a little bit pricier than at other Souks around the city.
