Old Dubai is just wonderful its has so much character and wonderful hidden gems around ever corner. Great people with great shopping with a lot of authentic products like spices and more that fill the market with such great aromas. I will say don’t buy at first sites best to shop around until you get the best bargain. Which there is so many bargains to find. So much history and great food.
