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.
