Very atmospheric! But I do not advise going there alone — all sellers will be yours, and discounts will be unyielding (only if they do not like you, of course), and some even climb straight up, so go with someone, it will not be so scary. There are a lot of spices (but I was more impressed by the bazaar in Istanbul). Leaving the bazaar, you can go to the dock and for 2 dirhams sail an old boat to the other shore.
Well I do not know. Those who miss the Vietnamese markets and Cherkizons are welcome. Come on in, llama for the lady, saffron bro.
We don't let women go far with a lock on the bag
The wiring of taxi drivers is also popular - approach a taxi with checkers in the parking lot, say where - he scratches a turnip, says he doesn't know, but this one knows. They seat you, but they take you without a meter for triple the price
I added one star for the presence of a currency exchange point. I will try to speak more or less objectively. It is possible and even necessary to bargain, although for the most part it all boils down to the fact that the price is brought down weakly, but they give "as a gift" something that is often not needed. A big disappointment was on the counter with sand paintings in a bottle, the works look good, although flaws are visible in places, plus the reliability of the neck looks doubtful so that the sand does not spill out. The seller, after we tried to negotiate a price, called some person who started "threatening problems" if we refuse to buy. A cool way to interact in the market, especially in a foreign country. I'm definitely not going here anymore
We need to bargain. Prices are high even at a minimum, you need to understand the real cost of the product well

I planned to walk to the spice and gold market from the Baniyas square metro station. This is in order to feel the flavor of the Deira district. In general, the market is steep - under a carved wooden roof, and every street is signed with what they sell there. If you know English, you can navigate well. And one of these streets is the spice market. I don't really like such markets - they take away energy, make noise, stop it, offer it. But after we talked with one of the merchants, we began to feel more confident and understand the prices. As a result, we bought menthol crystals, some tea (it turned out to be very expensive). And so it's the same in every stall
