"I always say a kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara lasts forever.”
Lorelei Lee – Gentleman Prefer Blondes

Escape the crowds and hunt out treasures in Madinat Jumeirah’s private souk. Exotic colours and fragrances fill your senses, along with the sounds of craftsmen at work as you explore the twists and turns and uncover 75 boutique shops.

Pick up something completely unique or just soak up the vibrant atmosphere of a traditional bazaar (albeit one with air-conditioned walkways). Then, take an abra – one of the traditional water taxis that glide along the resort’s four kilometres of waterways – back to your room with your treasures.
