Dubai Spice Souk
The fragrances and spices at the Spice Souk in Dubai include the biblical variety. Crystal-like chunks of frankincense and myrrh fill large overflowing stacks, which compete for room in a long narrow covered alley. One of the star attractions is saffron. Expensive and coveted around the world it is priced well here.
Shopkeepers are happy to chat and explain what is on display. You’ll see plenty of turmeric, cinnamon bark, cardamom, pepper, chillies, cloves and nuts in addition to dried rosebuds and fruit.
The Spice Souk is strategically located along Dubai Creek in Deira next to the Old Souk Abra Station. It’s a small non-touristy market, which remains true to its Arabian heritage.
This is Dubai's largest and oldest souk. The easiest way to enter is to head for the windtowers on the Deira side of the creek. A wonderfully different experience,the spice souk has narrow streets and an aroma so unique,it's like walking into another era.The place seems to have downsized in the past year and the rows of stalls displaying spice laden sacks are fast diminishing.Although spices are available, a Far eastern influence seems to be setting in ,with integrated shops of cheep eleronic goods and wholesale shoes.Perhaps the slow demise is due to more and more supermarkets suppling a wider range of spices.
