[Save this] Introducing the "3 major souks" you must visit in Dubai! Dubai has a strong image of skyscrapers, but walking through an Arabian market is also very emotional.

▼The three souks we visited▼
① Gold Souk: A glittering array of gold accessories
② Spice Souk: A treasure trove of colorful and fragrant Middle Eastern spices
③ Old Souk: A retro, nostalgic, general goods paradise

Each souk can be easily visited on foot or by abra, making it a perfect place to stop by between sightseeing.

Bargaining is also one of the best parts of traveling! Be sure to enjoy shopping that is unique to the area.

⛵️Abra (water taxi):
A one-way fare of 1 dirham (about 40 yen) gives you a real local feel!

Many stores are closed during the day, so the best time to go is in the morning to before noon or after the evening!
