My entry for today's #marketfriday initiated by is a photographic walk through the gold markets of Deira, Dubai. In the Orient and Dubai a market is called a souq (souk)
Main entrance to the gold souk.
A dazzling feast for the eyes if you are into gold and some amazing diamonds and other trinkets.
There are dozens of shops selling all manner of gold, silver and diamonds from across the world. Vibrant and colorful the market is full of energy and life.
There are so many shops in this rabbit warren of a market, it's quite easy to walk into a gold shop and come out of a spice shop in another alley entirely? Great fun.
These golden wedding dresses are very popular and many shops offer a variety of designs.
Hope you enjoyed this wander around the gold shops of Deira. Next time we visit the parallel universe of the spice markets.
