The Dubai Textile Souk (Arabic: سوق الغزل والنسيج‎; also known as the Old Textile Souk) is a traditional souq (market) of textile products located in Dubai's historic Bur Dubai neighbourhood, along the Dubai Creek. It is located in the United Arab Emirates. Opposite to the textile souk on the other side of the Dubai Creek lie the Dubai Spice Souk and Dubai Gold Souk in Deira, accessible via the creek by special abra boats.[1] It is open 10Am to 10PM Saturday to Thursday with some vendors taking a lunch break from 1-4pm and Friday is 4PM to 10Pm only [2] The souks of Dubai have a rich history of trade within the Arabian Gulf and have developed overtime as Dubai urbanised rapidly.
