Deep-Rooted 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 Bur 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, and the gold market.

Dubai Municipality organizes the annual ‘Ramadan Souq’ event as part of its ongoing initiatives and
endeavors to support tourism, entertainment, and commercial activities within the emirate. This effort
aims to attract investments and enhance the demand for Dubai’s public attractions and various
entertainment venues.
