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.
