The Gold Souk (market)

Our last stop was the gold souk (market) where they sold over the top gold necklaces and other jewelry. I found a knockoff of the necklace and earrings I had earlier tried on at the Burg Al Arab for $7000. Quite a savings from $327,000. I tried on a few other things, but just for fun. Some were quite nice. A few had noticeable quality issues.

Then it was back to our ship in time for sail away.

I really benefited unexpectedly from my friend's tea plans and I had access to an excellent guide for Dubai by joining my friend's tour. Thanks Susie for inviting me!
