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

Manager,” 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.
