Dubai Isn’t Called ‘The City Of Gold’ For Nothing – Here’s Why

Avatar

Ever wondered why Dubai is called the ‘City of Gold’? Take a walk through the Gold Souk in Deira and you should get your answer. Dubai’s first and oldest gold market is home to over 300 jewellery retailers. It is said that the market holds approximately 10 tons of gold at any given point. Plus, there’s enough outside the Gold Souk to justify the title!
