Don’t bother going. Shops are old and generally was a waste of a journey. Old building and needs an update. Think you can go Hamdad street which is better

Not worth the 2 had to get for a change Dirhams for the stupid parking.
I asked the rude customers outside where to get the change . Customers are rude and have mad looks.
I finally got it from a near by restaurant .
You have to keep going back every hour to reload .
Parking should be free to tourist cars all over UAE .
Inside rude Greedy shop owners/workers .
Just skip this rat hole .
One positive is the Indian shay carak 1 dirham.

We found the gold souk an interesting place. The prices were really cheap too and they will custom make anything you like.
Well worth a visit — I actually thought it was cheaper here than in the Dubai Gold Souk.
We will be back.

If you want a relief from the luxury malls and brands, a good place would be madinat zayed , more like a shopping center rather than a mall. Its mostly mid class and expat crowd who comes to shop for daily groceries from lulu hypermarket and then have food from the food court…there are lot of small perfume and mobile shops that sell cheap replica products of big brands…A local shopping center with relatively cheap price

This market is located in Downtown Abu Dhabi and its location is strategic as it is close to many restaurants, service shops, tailors, barbers, hotels, etc., and near it there is a large market for meat, fish and vegetables. Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre contains goods at cheap prices and good quality from many countries around the world such as India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Iran and others, where you can buy clothes, shoes, bags, perfumes, incense and spices. and it also has a large gold market. There is also a pharmacy and a large supermarket with all international products from sweets, detergents, chocolates, cheese, etc., and it also has mobile accessories stores, and a large store selling all electronic devices manufactured in several countries around the world. On the third and last floor there is a very clean food court with restaurants from several countries around the world such as the Philippines, India and others. The food there is very cheap, clean and delicious. If you have the opportunity to visit Abu Dhabi or you live there, then you should visit this distinguished market.

Located near my hotel, I visited the Lulu ‘s Hypermarket and its Food Court at the Third Floor during my 4-day visit of Abu Dhabi. The Food Court has 2 Filipino restaurants offering buffett dishes at reasonable prices. There are also American Fast Foods restaurants, a vegetarian Indian restaurant, etc. I bought fruites and pastries at the Hypermarket.
At the 2 lower floors, there are shops selling electronics, clothings, jewelries, etc. I enjoyed my visit here.

Want to buy gold in the capital? Look no further than Abu Dhabi Gold Souk. Featuring stunning displays of shimmering gold necklaces and gorgeous diamond rings, this is an ideal destination for anyone who wants to choose their jewellery from an array of options. Here is everything you need to know about this souk.
Connected to the iconic Madinat Zayed Mall, Gold Souk Abu Dhabi is a collection of shops — arranged like an arcade, selling gold, diamond and other types of jewellery.
Jewellery enthusiasts come to this retail destination to browse through an extensive collection of sophisticated gold, diamond and silver ornaments.
Let’s learn about the things you must focus on, before visiting Abu Dhabi’s popular gold market.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE VISITING THE GOLD SOUK ABU DHABI
KNOW THE GOLD PRICES
- It is very important to check the international gold prices on the day of your visit.
- Like the gold rate in Dubai per tola, Abu Dhabi gold rates fluctuate on a daily basis. So, knowing the current price will help you estimate the cost of the gold ornaments at different stores in the souk.
LIMIT OF GOLD FOR TRAVELLERS
Tourists who want to indulge in some serious gold shopping should consult their respective airlines or customs authorities to know how much gold they can carry to their country on the return trip.
- Carrying more than the permissible limit of gold during international trips can result in financial consequences in the form of hefty duties.
- It’s also important to note that the customs duty for carrying gold bars may differ from the customs duty for carrying gold jewellery.
- Another thing to remember as a tourist is to get the necessary documents to claim a VAT refund while leaving the airport.
BE PREPARED TO BARGAIN
- If you are a bargain hunter, you will be excited to know that buyers can negotiate with the sales staff at the Gold Souk Abu Dhabi.
- Gold Souk Abu Dhabi prices are based on two factors:
- Actual gold rates on the day
- Manufacturing charges for individual designs and products
- While the gold rate is fixed, you can haggle over the manufacturing prices to settle on an agreeable amount.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT QUALITIES AND PURITY STANDARDS FOR GOLD
- The souk has gold jewellery with different levels of purity. The purest form of gold is the 24-carat variety, which has no other material mixed in it. However, this form of gold is not just hard to mould into jewellery, but it is also prone to damage and far more expensive because of its purity.
- So, if your intention is to buy gold jewellery, it is better to buy 21 or 22-carat jewellery as it will be more durable and cost-effective.
INVEST IN COINS AND BARS FOR A HIGH PROFIT
- Many shops at the souk offer pure gold bars that people buy for investment purposes.
- If you are buying yellow metal purely for investment, it is better to purchase 24-carat gold bars, coins or biscuits, as these don’t incur any manufacturing charges.
VISIT SEVERAL SHOPS BEFORE FINALISING A PURCHASE
- Buyers should always visit a couple of gold stores before finalising their options at the souk.
- Since buyers often base their negotiations on the relative prices of similar products, visiting different stores can give a better idea about the established jewellery rates. This will also help you negotiate more confidently and persuade the seller.
GET YOUR JEWELLERY REPAIRED
Many gold shops at the Abu Dhabi Gold Souk offer services for jewellery repairing and jewellery resizing. So, if you have a broken piece of jewellery, you can get it fixed at any of the gold stores at the souk for a reasonable price.
NOSE AND EAR PIERCING
- If you want to get your ears or nose pierced, you will find plenty of jewellers at the souk who promise a pain-free experience.
- Make sure that the shop you choose for this carries out the process in a clean, hygienic and safe manner.
LIST OF TOP GOLD SHOPS IN THE SOUK
While the list of gold jewellery shops located in the souk is fairly extensive, here are some of the well-known outlets at the mall:
- Damas Jewellery | +971-2-634-4720
- Malabar Gold and Diamonds | +971-2-635-5916
- Joyalukkas Jewellery |+971-2-633-1377
Apart from the mentioned stores, you can consider some other gold shops in Abu Dhabi.
- Location: Madinat Zayed Mall
- Timings: 09:00 am to 10:00 pm | 04:00 pm to 10:00 pm (Friday)

This place unites all kinds of jewellery shops, from smallest to giant and famous players of the market. Here, you can choose, bargain, and buy jewellery and watches of precious metals and stones.
It’s highly recommended to visit even if you are not planning to buy just to upgrade your knowledge. There are all new tendencies and classics of jewellery making presented here.
Meanwhile, the 2nd floor of the centre has been taken by the large furniture shop HomeRus.
The whole building is connected to another part of Medinat Zayed Shopping Mall.
Black point of visiting: the place has to improve the cleanliness.

It’s really worth visiting for all those intend to buy gold ornaments. The price of 253 AED per gram is cheaper compared to India. Added to that making charges can be bargained. Wastage concept is not there. The tax you pay while purchase is reimbursed in the special counters in the airport, either in cash or by credit to your card accounts

The price is high and no clear information is given until you face an issue they tell you this is the way it should be. I had a really hard lesson that I ll never forget . Never again in this shop , never ever . Lost already a loyal customer.

A good place to buy gold and diamond jewelry
There are many shops in one mall that provide good options with a vast collection of jewelry.
The best thing is that they give the same price for credit card payments or cash payments.
Good place to compare and buy.
Most of the local shops don’t have 22-carat gold; however, known branded shops have all options.
All of them provide good quality and trust.
There are very few parking facilities in the mall; however, public parking is adjacent and huge.

Bought 24k gold from this place 3-4 times. Whatever the current gold rat is you will get according to the same and even with discount in some shops. You get very reasonable rates and the best quality pure gold here. You can buy gold coins, biscuits or ornaments or just the plane gold as per your requirement. Making charges differ from shop to shop.
