The Gold Souk in Deira is one of the most visited attractions in Dubai. The emirate is known as the City of Gold and when you explore the gold market, you will definitely understand why the term was coined. You can find various gold pieces and jewelry and plenty of tourists come here to purchase gold here.
Check out this short video clip showcasing the hundreds of gold shops in the Deira Gold Market. This is a humble video I made giving you a quick glimpse of what to expect when you visit this Dubai attraction.
Gold Souk Video: Dubai is the City of Gold
The gold market is a remarkable place because you will find the biggest gold ring here, gold dresses and accessories that are really outrageous for their size and style. See the full video below:
The great thing is that this is also good place to purchase because the quality and the price is better. The price would depend on the gold rate which is evidently displayed in the area. Since there are plenty of shops selling gold, you can find your way to a good bargain (so long as the price is fair to both parties).
I plan to visit the market again and capture a better video to post here soon. I hope the clip will give you a better idea and glimpse when you finally visit this part of the emirate.

How honest are the residents of Dubai? What would you do if you see someone drop their wallet? A social experiment by Trollstation answers that when they conducted a ‘wallet test’ wherein in a man intentionally drops his wallet on the streets of Dubai.
Dubai is a famous travel destination with many attractions offered to tourists. One of the great things about it is that Dubai is relatively safe and people respect the law.

To be fair, there is crime in Dubai, but the crime rate is low compared to other countries. It is a cosmopolitan city wherein majority of its residents are expats who make it a safe place to live. So in your case, would you steal in Dubai?
One of the things that Dubai is known for to the world is being home to numerous super cars and luxury vehicles. The government, particularly the Dubai Police, is no stranger to this as they have their own set of super fleet vehicles that parade and monitor the streets of Dubai.
If you stroll along the main entrance of The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates, you can see plenty of these cars gracing the area. Or try to visit the Jumeirah road area, you’ll see tons of these cars and even more of plate numbers that are 3 digits or less (Dubai Plate Numbers are also another statement for the rich in this emirate but we’ll talk about that some other time).
Video: Dubai Police Super Cars
The Dubai Police and its team are always finding ways in order to build their brand and also maintain the security of the people living in the emirate. They seem to always be updated with the latest technology and infrastructure and there machines are always a highlight because they constantly offer something innovative to help combat crime.
Below you can watch the full video of these super cars by Dubai Police. Watch out as the Dubai Police will always catch you even if you run. ;p
Enjoyed the video? I’m sure these vehicles tend to attract a lo of attention. These police cars are a crowd drawer whenever there are events in Dubai. They help elevate the brand of the city while serving as a reminder that they take safety and security with utmost priority. So criminals, don’t think you can get away from the police force.
People can’t help but take snapshots of these supercars just because they themselves have become an attraction associated with the city. It’s alright to take photos of these vehicles during events, but would suggest otherwise on regular days.
Perhaps the best feeling known to man is the feeling of taking flight, but not for Swiss ex-fighter pilot Yves Rossy who knows this all too well as he holds the Guinness World Record for the first man to ever fly with a jet-propelled wing device. For this remarkable feat, he has been known to many as Jetman.
In this post we share a video clip of Jetman together with his flying partner, Veres Zoltan, who is an acrobatics champ, as they fly through the sky over the Dubai desert and perform some mind-blowing stunts that would leave you speechless, to say the least.

Two Jet packers Fly Over Dubai Desert
If you’re thinking why some people would even dare to do the unthinkable – maybe it’s for that rare rush of adrenaline, or the idea of trying out something that everyone else can’t be completely okay with. Whatever their reason is, there’s no argument that watching two grown adult men perform something (as silly) or crazy as jumping off a helicopter to “fly” on jetpacks is enough to pique one’s interest and to wonder how that is even possible.
Here is a YouTube clip of the two jet packers flying over Dubai Desert:
This amazing feat caught on video was made possible by Jetman Dubai, in partnership with XDubai. If you can imagine what it’s like to be up thousands of feet in the air and then zoom through the scenic landscapes of Dubai with just a jetpack strapped on your back as you perform beautiful stunts with only gravity leading the way, then you might be able to understand why Jetman and Zoltan would dare to take this kind of challenge.
To say that watching the two jet packers “fly” in sync as they carefully match their speed with each other as they course through the Dubai desert as wonderful is an understatement. But don’t take it from us. Take it from Yves, who shared what the best part of the experience for him was: it’s being able to share that wonderful experience of “flying” with another person. With his background as a pilot, we’re pretty sure that the guy has done it a dozen of times and knows what it takes to fly like a pro, but to enjoy the feeling and the experience of flight with another enthusiast is truly something special. That just takes the experience to a whole new level.
This type of experience is not at all new in a progressive and beautiful city such as Dubai. Other than flying on a jetpack, that should be enough reason for anyone to visit and experience the charms of the city.
If given the chance, would you also like to fly on a jetpack, too? Who would you tag along? Let us know through the comment section below.
