THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Textile Souk

The Textile Souk is a Bur Dubai market for fabrics, clothing and souvenirs. Its shops provide a useful contrast to the jewellery and spice markets on the other side of the creek, with textiles as the focus of the visit.

Explore it alongside Bur Dubai's heritage streets or use an appropriate abra crossing to connect the two creek banks. Shopping and a boat ride involve separate spending, so you can choose either a simple market walk or a wider creek outing.

  • Fabric and clothing shops
  • Souvenir browsing
  • Bur Dubai creek-side setting
