The City of
Gold
Dubai is the city that has
gained the reputation of being the City of Gold. A simple trip to Gold
Souk will demonstrate this. A souk is a market or a place where any kind of
goods are sold or exchanged. The age old investment, gold, is being sold in
hundreds of shops. The variety of choices is so big that it is simply impossible
not to find yourself investing in a piece of gold.
The styles in which gold can
be found range from the Indian to Arabic and even to modern European pieces.
There is no VAT on the gold so you may find that the prices are up to 40%
cheaper than those in the West. One of the best part of buying gold in Dubai is
that you can bargain in order to get the best price. If you feel that you could
get a better price in another shop you can simply walk away – it’s all part of
the game. Don’t be afraid that the gold you buy might not be real. The shops are
constantly monitored so that the customers receive what they have paid for.
If you have some old gold
yourself and you want to sell it or simply change the design, there are many
shops that do this. Due to the amount of measures that are being taken in order
to prevent illegal trading of gold, some shops are particularly picky about the
gold they buy. If you wish to make such a transaction be sure that you have on
you a receipt or a certificate and that the gold has been hallmarked.
If you intend to make a big
purchase you’d better make sure that you have enough Dirhams (currency in
several Arab nations) on you. You can also pay with a credit card but paying
with cash can make a big difference in a transaction of such type.
Make sure that you visit a
number of shops before you buy something. If you decide to buy something, try to
make such an investment only in stores where you feel more comfortable and the
most important thing of all: try to enjoy yourself!
