What souvenirs can I bring from Dubai?

The selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Which historical districts are worth visiting in Dubai?

Dubai may seem like an ultra-modern city of glass and steel, but behind the shine of the skyscrapers lie neighborhoods where one can feel the spirit of the past. One such place is Al Fahidi, also known as Bastakiya. As I wandered through its narrow streets, I felt like a time traveler. The traditional houses with wind towers, built from coral stone and gypsum, told stories of how people lived here centuries ago. I visited the Dubai Museum, located in Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest building in the city. Inside, I was greeted by exhibits that narrated the lives of Bedouins, pearl diving, and the trade that made Dubai what it is today. Don’t miss Deira, home to the famous markets—the Gold Souk, Spice Souk, and Fish Market. Here, the aromas and sounds of the East create a unique atmosphere, and the opportunity to haggle with vendors adds to the charm.
