Dubai Textile Souk, Traditional textile market in Bur Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The market contains numerous small shops displaying fabrics from floor to ceiling, including silks, cottons, wools, and embroidered materials from local and international sources.
The textile trade in this location grew substantially during the 1820s under British naval protection, establishing Dubai as a major commercial center in the Persian Gulf.
Indian and Pakistani merchants maintain a strong presence in the market, offering textiles that reflect both Arabian and South Asian design traditions.
The market operates from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Saturday through Thursday, with visitors accessing it via the Al Fahidi metro station or abra boats across Dubai Creek.
The market structure incorporates traditional wind towers and wooden lattice screens that regulate temperature through natural air circulation methods.
