It’s currently free to visit Karama Market, but you can pay to take a Dubai shopping tour that includes Karama Market. Half-day tours typically cost around US$120 per person, but prices vary by group size. These tours may also include luxury malls, spice and jewelry markets, and budget-friendly fashion markets.

Karama Market is especially well-known for its counterfeit designer and luxury brands, especially in fashion. As such, the prices here tend to be lower than at Dubai’s glitzy malls. While some shoppers find the quality of counterfeit goods at Karama Market to be high, it’s advisable to exercise caution here and consider your purchases carefully.

Yes, although haggling is not generally practised at Dubai’s higher-end shopping locations, it’s perfectly acceptable (even encouraged) to haggle at Karama Market. Always approach haggling with good humor and with an idea of how much you’re willing to pay. You may be able to bargain the seller down to half the original asking price.

Karama Market is open Saturday–Thursday from 10am until late in the evening, and from midafternoon on Friday. The best time to avoid the crowds is in the morning, shortly after the shops have opened. Some vendors are willing to give their first customer of the day an extra discount.

How you get to Karama Market by public transportation depends on where you’re coming from, but the Al Karama Bus Station is close by—buses C03 and 33 stop here. Other buses that pass nearby, on 16th Street, include 44, 83, and C05. ADCB is the nearest Metro station, about a 10-minute walk away.
