No itinerary would be complete without shopping in Dubai. Due to the exclusions of taxes, prices for gold have always been cheaper as buyers would only pay for the value of gold.

Gold Trade in Dubai

Dubai’s geographic location is a major asset in serving the gold industry. The Gold Souk in Dubai was founded in the early 1900s. During that period, merchants set up shops, not too far from the creek. That also encouraged a tax-free and trade-friendly environment. Due to its proximity to India- the world’s largest market for gold, it is a major asset in the gold trade. Therefore, buying gold in Dubai is always on the list of Indians when they visit Dubai tourist places.
