Grand Souq Deira

Established in 1850, the traditional souk area of Deira has undergone restoration, now featuring a collection of markets that proudly showcase their original architectural charm. Grand Souk Deira, conveniently located near the entrance of the Spice Souk, stands out as a prime shopping destination for those seeking gifts and traditional Arabian products.

This bustling market offers a wide range of goods, from toys to household items and an assortment of gifts. Visitors can peruse through trays, spices, perfumes, herbs, shawls, fabrics, and more.

The location of this vibrant shopping hub was strategically chosen due to its proximity to the harbor area, where merchants historically received goods from ships arriving from Africa and the subcontinent. Over 220 historic building facades have been lovingly restored, and the surrounding urban spaces have been thoughtfully modified to elevate the overall visitor experience.
