Dubai’s Spice Souk is a colourful, aromatic and sensory experience.

Wander among many different stalls and chat to the vendors who will give you plenty of ideas on how you can use the exotic spices on offer. Some may be rich and powerful, whereas others light, airy and sweet. A wide variety of fragrant teas from all over the world are on offer and you are sure to learn all of this as you go.

Spices are sold both by weight and in packets. Like other souks, you can save money when you buy in bulk quantities – and vendors expect you to haggle. Lots of Arabic spices are on offer, as well as those from the subcontinent. Whether you’re a cooking expert or looking to experiment a bit with your favourite recipes, you’ll discover many new tastes at Spice Souk – with a great selection of nuts, oils and saffron also available.

How to get there?

The spice souk is located next to the Gold Souk in Deira on the Baniyas street. You can take the water taxi or Abra from the Dubai creek and its a short walk from there. You can also take a metro to the Al Ras metro station (Green Line) and walk up to the souk
