             Traditional markets


             Deira’s historical markets hold significant prominence as traditional commercial hubs,

             dating back to the 19th century. These markets have undergone restoration,

             rehabilitation, and classification based on their types. Among them is the Grand Souq

             in Deira, famously known as the ‘Al Dhalam Souq’ or Darkness Market, renowned for

             its diverse range of products. Additionally, there is the Plates Market, which offers
             kitchen essentials like pots and trays.












































             These markets further include a men’s fabrics market and ‘Souq Al Manazer,’ which

             sells diverse goods. Additionally, there is the ‘Al-Matarih Market,’ dedicated to the sale

             of armchairs and pillows (tikki). Other notable markets within the area include the
             food market, marine tools market, ‘Souq Al Khilak’ for fabrics, perfume market, spice

             souq and the Gold Souq.



             Dubai Municipality organises the annual ‘Ramadan Souq’ event as part of its ongoing
             initiatives and endeavours to support tourism, entertainment, and commercial

             activities within the emirate. This effort aims to attract investments and enhance the
