First a warning the Dubai Creek Metro stop does not take you to the area of the creek you might expect, as you will see from the film. The Gold Souk and Spice Souk are one side of the creek and the Old Souk and Heritage Village are on the other side nearer to the cruise terminal.

Heritage Village and Old Souk or Textile Souk This is a much more laid back souk than the Gold Souk and Spice Souk across the Creek. It is also known as the Textile Souk, but it sells much more. In this area, there is a restaurant on the water and an Asian Restaurant upstairs. The water station has boats that will take you across to the other souks. Built in 1997, at the Al Shindagha historic neighbourhood, the Heritage Village is open each day, but on Sunday’s does not open until 3pm. It is something to see on the way back to the ship. It shows the traditional life style, customs, professions and local craftsmanship in the Emirate of Dubai. It is a great opportunity to to see local life ranging from coastal, desert to country and mountain life in a short time in one space.
