Relaxing Shopping Trip with Rahim Khan and Ayaan
I took this shopping tour with Rahim Khan as my tour guide and Ayaan as my driver. Ayaan navigated the traffic very well even though it seemed to be extra busy on the day I chose. Rahim Khan was very relaxed and let me explore museums and shops at my own pace. He didn’t pressure any purchases or any sort of structure. I was free to do what I want and spend as long as I wanted where I wanted. Rahim Khan was also knowledgeable and went through the interesting history of the country and architecture of the old town. He also started talking a little bit about more minute things that interested me when I expressed a bit of personal interest such as social structure and services in the country that related to my work experience back home. Very chill guys.

Fabulous communication...
Fabulous communication prior to the trip.
Our Guide was Ali Kamail. Extremely knowledgeable. Evident that Ali loves his job, this tour and Dubai.
It was good to see and learn about the historical side of Dubaii, ride across the Creek etc. A good experience.

Souk tour
Our guide, Mr Muhammad, took us on a brilliant tour of the gold and spice areas. He explained the history of the UAE and the souk areas and gave some instructions on the haggling process. A very worthwhile and interesting tour.

Walking tour in old Dubai
Our tour guide was amazing. Well informed, and answered all of our questions. Before booking the tour I wasn’t thrilled about walking the distance, but I’m glad we did. We were able to maneuver in and out the shops with ease. We will definitely return and use the same tour guide.

Highly recommend
Brilliant tour, Ricky was great. So full of knowledge. It was a highlight of the holiday. The Arabian Tea house is lovely so go early and have tea and food, really nice place. Lovely to see the traditional houses and the souks. Loved the abra boat trip to the gold souk. Highly recommend this tour. My 10 year old loved it .

Good half day tour to give a good exposure to the souks.
Took this to give us an overview of the Spice and Gold Souks. It did just that. Muhammad Makhtiar was patient and helpful as I just couldn't resist shopping.

Loved The Experience of Souq Shopping
Loved our tour guide, Tahir, who was kind enough to take us back to the soul and allow us to complete our shopping after another couple had to be taken back to their hotel to be on time for a wedding rehearsal. He went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and shopped until we were ready to depart. In all, he spent roughly six hours with us and didn't complain once. Great job and great service!

When to visit

The Dubai Spice Souk is a must-visit for shoppers, foodies, and culture vultures.
Be prepared to barter—haggling is a way of life for the vendors.
If you’re buying spices to take home, check the relevant customs regulations and ask vendors to properly seal and label your goods.
Be ready for the heat: although the souk is shaded, there’s no air-conditioning apart from certain individual shops.
