When you book flights to Dubai, you can be sure of holidaying in the lap of luxury where sun, sea and sand surround you and there are plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy the finer things in life.
And nowhere is this more apparent than at the world-famous Gold Souk, which you will find situated in the emirate's business district of Deira.
There is thought to be several tonnes of the precious metal on sale here everyday and whether you are looking for a watch, ring, necklace or bracelet, with so much choice on offer you are sure to find what you are after.
Usually there are around 300 retailers trading here and if you have the time it is worth really checking out all of the wares - you may just come across a one of a kind piece.
While there are some large stores to be discovered here if you are searching for high-end brands, there are also some smaller stalls where you may find it easier to bag yourself a bargain.
Indeed, haggling is a very important skill to equip yourself with when you visit the souks of Dubai and there is no need to worry about offending any of the stallholders.
Indeed, many of them enjoy the banter as you work out a price between you.
If you are still feeling nervous then a good way to start the bidding process if you come across a piece you love is to ask the seller what their best offer is.
Remember, they want to make a sale so you may find yourself walking away with a true bargain.
The Gold Souk is an amazing place to visit even if you do not have enough money to buy some new jewellery but if you can afford to do so it is always worth taking advantage of the low prices and huge variety of items on offer.
As a commodity, gold is known to be extremely good at holding on to its value so whatever you end up spending it will be an investment that could ultimately see you in good stead.
You could buy the jewellery for a loved one back home - such as by surprising them with an engagement ring.
Alternatively, you may be happy to have your glittering prize as an attractive reminder of your time in Dubai - which may make your flights home a little less glum!
