This re-creation of a traditional souk is located within the Madinat Jumeirah Resort. One of the perks of shopping or dining at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is the view from its outdoor terraces of the Burj Al Arab hotel. However, it's the only market in Dubai where prices are fixed (and quite expensive) and bargaining is not the norm. The exterior of the complex re-creates traditional Arab architecture and features wind towers.

These, and numerous traditional lanterns hanging throughout the entire place makes Madinat Jumeirah a great place to take amazing photographs. A man-made canal has been built, where one can take an abra ride for 50 dirhams and sail through the resort. "It's just like riding a gondola in Venice!", I heard a tourist remark.
