Souk Al Bahar (Arabic: سوق البحار داون تاون) is a market (or souk) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located in Downtown Dubai, right across from the Burj Khalifa. It was built in 2008 as part of a project to expand Downtown Dubai.[1]
Overview
[edit]The souk was developed by Emaar and a bridge connects it to the Dubai Mall, another Emaar property.[2] It has both classic and contemporary architecture and is known for being a blend of each. It spans 3.5 km of restaurants and cafes along Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Boulevard.[3]
The shopping center sells mainly luxury goods such as perfumes and jewelry, as well as having many 22 restaurants.[4] There are over 100 shops, with products ranging from handcrafted goods to jewelry.[5][6] The market is aimed towards tourists and is strategically next to the Dubai Fountain in order to use the large crowds to its advantage.[7] The souk is also adjacent to the Address Downtown hotel, which is convenient to guests.
