Deira Perfume Souk

Love this place to buy my favorite Arabic perfumes

Habe mir mehr darunter versprochen. Ich ziehe es vor, selber Parfum auszuprobieren, da ich meinen Geschmack kenne. Das geht dir leider nicht, da ein Verkäufer versucht , das richtige zu finden.

Had a nice time exploring the souk. Be careful of people telling you to follow them because they have some miracle recipes against baldness or acne. They will bring you to a shop and tell you to buy things there.

All fake perfume you will get hard to get find authentic pure original purfume but original those are already branded like Ajmal Swiss Arabia, Arabian oud, AL Haramain, elite oud, and similar branded only...

It's a cool place with various stores where you get to see varieties of Gold, but you gotta have loads of money if you plan to buy from any store here, I eventually didn't buy any because they were above my budget. But beautiful pieces are sold here from 18carat to 22carat 😀

What an incredible experience! Perfumes, gold, jewlerly, spices and so much more. We were a bit confused and uncomfortable but just like being in China Town in NYC you do it. The spices we brought back home as gifts were trully unique and special. They seem to also specialize in special creams and soaps. Lol

So many different perfumes, it's a little insane. This is where you will see aggressive selling, buy its expected, right? The weather wasn't the best with the rain and we went on a Friday, which is their Holy day. There was a traffic jam because of the mass prayer, which was powerful to see. We just really wanted to grab souvenirs for a low price and we were able to do so. You can find spices, bags (unsure if they are real or not), clothes, shoes, pretty much everything. This is the old part of Dubai, and you can tell by how the living spaces are smaller and notably shorter than the tall buildings in the new city.

Don't go on Friday as shops may not open, as happened with me. However some shops opened later and I was able to check the perfumes. The perfumes are largely based on perfume oils and are similar to Afghani fragrances however few shopkeepers have various oils with them and they can make various fragrances to your taste. I would have returned empty handed, if my driver would not have given me a phone number of a shopkeeper. I must say that the shopkeeper of perfume shop Al Waha was very nice and gave me good price for various perfumes. I bought 5 bottles and these perfumes stay on body or cloths. Oudh is a famous fragrance in Saudi continent and it feels like I'm in Dubai even when I use this fragrance at my home in india :). This shop is in front of gate of gold souk. U can trust him and this is the only issue when we go to other places and buy products. I didn't find branded international perfumes here but these local perfumes were good and cheap too. From rs 200-1000 you can get good fragrances. You can take oil also which are very good. You must go and keep whole day for this place ... You will check out gold souk also 😄😄.. enjoy !!
