If you’re in Dubai and you’re in the market to purchase some quality gold and diamond jewellery, the best place to head to is the Dubai Gold Souq, where you stand to walk away with some of the emirate’s best deals of quality precious merchandise. Make sure you check into one of the finest Dubai luxury hotels to show off your purchases in style, and the Millennium Plaza Hotel Dubai ranks among the best 5 star hotels Dubai has to offer its jetsetter visitors. The gilded corridors of the Dubai Gold Souq is the best locale in the emirate to acquire some quality gold pieces at fantastic prices. Be treated to glistening store fronts crammed full of golden jewellery in the form of necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles, golden chains, pendants; all of which seem straight out of a sultan’s treasure house. Be prepared to bargain hard, as it is an expected business practice for the business at the souq, and you’ll be able to bring the price down as much as 30-40%. Stores will accept debit and credit cards, but good practice indicates that if you manage to land a great bargain, it’s best to settle the amount in cash. Some tips include knowing your 18 carat from your 22 carat from your 24 carat gold, and keeping yourself updated on the latest price of gold, which keeps fluctuating each day. Go to some of the respected jewellery stores such as Damas and Atlas; you can be assured of the highest quality here.
