Al Ras Souk - Spices Souk

Last Saturday I and my mother with my little sister went to Al Ras Souk which is located in Deira. It is represent one of the oldest communities in Deira and it is near to the Dubai Creek and there are many different shops there. We went there to buy some herbs and spices that my mum needed and I took some photos that i would like to share it.




As you can see from the photo that there is no one at the parking building where we reach early, so to not face an issue with the parking.



Here is the first view when we got-out from the parking building. In this area there are a lot of shops and many tourist visit it.




This is one of the herbs and spices shop that we passed next to it while walking there.






Closer photos of some herbs and spices at the shop that we stopped to buy from it some spices that my mother loved to use them while cooking.

Here is a video that you will know through it the name of these herbs and spices. Actually, by coincidence the shop that is in video it is the same shop that we bought from it.




There are many foreigners tourists that visit this area and also there are many visitor from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). From this video you can notice that the one who was recording this video was a foreigner women.





These are two photos that I took while walking in the Souk. This is a foreigner boy that is wearing men scarf as local citizens (men) usually wear. Also you can see behind this boy there are two tourists from GCC specifically from Oman where you can know that from the type of hat that they are wearing.
