Hasten to visit the old Spice Souk in Dubai, which can be supplanted by rapidly emerging hypermarkets any time soon.
If you want to feel the true palette of flavors of the Middle East, visit the old Dubai Spice Souk - you will not get away without any purchases :)
The Spice Souk is a true paradise for culinary gourmets; many years ago this place was the center of the city. Old counters are stuffed from top to bottom: in flax bags you can find all kinds of spices for seafood and meat; flour products and desserts. You can smell the aroma of delicious Arabic sweets, nuts and dried fruits from everywhere. In addition, if you look hard you will certainly find native oriental spices - the root of an orchid or a black lemon.
