Fodor's Expert Review Meena bazaar and the textile souk
Bur Dubai and the South Bank
Some describe this area as "Little India," for although Indian expats have made homes all over Dubai, here is the largest concentration of goods, services, traders, and restaurants from the subcontinent. This district stretches from the Al Fahidi souk, across Al Fahidi street, down to the creekside textile stalls, and seaward through the old souk. Look for gold and diamonds, saris and pashminas, silk bedspreads and table linen, Indian sweets and great cheap eats. It’s a lively area, full of spruikers and traffic, so be prepared for an influx of the senses, and get ready to bargain.
