Also known as the Central Souk! Usually 10am to 10pm most days. Friday it may be closed between 1pm and 4pm. Good luck! It has 600 shops.

Yes. All public holidays are more busy for shopping except 1st day of Eid.

hello yes all shops at the souk sell gold bullion bars and coins

All kind of rugs and artifacts are available in gold souk. But you should make a bargain. The rt. wing of the souk , ground and first floor have abandoned with such items. Different people have different choice. So better you choose as yourself.

Sorry, but we were visiting friends in Sarjah and didn't make use of commercial transportation. Very interesting destination, hope you get to enjoy it.

There are shops specially for silver materials in the same gold souk.

While I bought one, if it is silk or wool even don't pay more than 160 AED I got a wool one 40x60 for 150 AED don't forget to vote for me helpful please

Al Mamzar park is just opposite side of the bay, but it is in Dubai. From Al Mamzar to Sharjah cheapest but long way to get is to return to Al Ghubaiba bus station and get the bus to Sharjah. Another way is to get taxi. However, when on taxi the meter will add extra when passing under toll gates (Salik) and adds 20 extra dirham to bill when entering Sharjah. From Al Riggah it is the same. There is metro connection from Al Riggah/ Deira City Center to Al Ghubaiba bus station via Union Sqr or Khalid Bin Al Valid station. As far as I know the bus from Dubai to Sharjah leaves from Union Metro bus station also. Buses are quite comfortable, airconditioned, service is regular. al Ghubaiba is on green line of metro. In Sharjah Blue Souk is few meters walking distance from bus station, or you can hop off the bus just one stop before bus station, it is almost the end of route in Sharjah. Check with the driver, they are normally quite helpful. Dubai metro is easy to use. The price may vary depends on type of ticket and zones of travel. It might be 12 dirham but I might be wrong about metro price. Bus ticket is around 15-20 dirham. Some buses require Nol card, electronic ticket card. Used both on metro and city buses. That will be another charge for new nol card. It can be topped up in many places on bus stops and in metro. Nol card also works on bus from Sharjah to Dubai. It can be topped up in ticket offices on bus station in Sharjah. Pay attention when boarding on bus from Sharjah to Dubai. Buses run to different destinations in Dubai and leave from different bays. Tickets and top up also from different ticketing offices located close to bus bays. Depends on traffic trip migt be 15 min to longer inside Sharjah. Taxi cabs from Sharjah to Dubai charge the same way. All toll gates will be added to bill and extra charges when crossing from Sharjah to Dubai. Bus travels are ok, comfortable. Bus stations have good connections to metro in Dubai.
