These used to be sold from boats, this is now banned but you can still find mackerel grillers in the area.

Behind the Spice Bazaar is Haci Muhittin, one of the oldest sweet-makers, famous for Turkish Delight and many other traditional sweets from Ottoman times, even drinks made of tamarind.

August 2, 2009 - 7:21 pm No Comments

www.teletextholidays.co.uk –
Dubai’s duty-free status means it’s a fabulous place to shop. The Mall of the Emirates is rammed with westernised stores carrying designer labels.

But to get a real flavour of local shopping here, visit the souks. Tourists throng the lanes of the gold and silver souks lined with necklaces, rings, bangles, earrings and brooches. But don’t forget the textile souk where you can pick up material from around the region, or the fragant-smelling spice souk stocked with everything from in to dried lemons. If you’re after electronic goods, visit Al Fahidi Street.
