Try Karama - but didn't they crack down on fake goods last year?

Also the old gold souk in Diera - just walk up and down, you'll have loads of people asking "fake watch, bag sir" etc.

No fake stuff there as far as I know, cheap shit, yes, but no fake omegas, rolex and gucci

Karama and most of the souks are your best bet

There's a sports clothing store in Karama with a wall that slides open to reveal a completely different store behind it full of fake designer handbags, wallets, shoes, purses, watches, sunglasses, "Mont Blanc" pens etc.

It's a bit tricky to find though as it's on one of the back streets rather than in one of the main squares.

Are you trying to put them out of business? For all we know the OP may be a CID troll simply digging for info.

Yes, my mistake, I've led CID straight to their door by the fact that I said it's on a back street in Karama :rolleyes:

aye i had a friend over last week, she went to the old gold souk and went up some lifts, through some weird doorways etc until she got to a room full of fake bags and stuff.

I still don't understand properly why you'd want to own fake stuff...
either buy the real thing or just go for something nice off the highstreet shops that you can actually afford...

I guess if a bag is worth £1k and you can get a passable fake for £50 then plenty of people would.
