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.

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.

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...

Tried gold souk...aint that great, mostly ordinary stuff, no bling bling, but branded.



Okto thats the first place i tried on Monday...didnt find anything fancy!



Noted...Maybe u can name the sports shop in private mssg



Mata im not friendly with the RECESSION, perfect excuse not to buy authentic gifts....I'll tell u what, u can actually pick up really good copies esp. in sunglasses, pens (though the cartridges are a give-away), wallets, purses & belts. Only problem is so far in the UAE, unlike whitechapel in London, the quality of "fake" is poor and too much attention is given to branding with ludicrous colour combinations and materials which no way resemble the real thing...oh and youll neva find a designer brand in my wardrobe other then Christian Dior shirts and a couple of Suits.

Directions to Karama to find the goodies -

Come off Trade Centre roundabout and head towards Bur Dubai/karama. At the "sana" junction (You'll see a sandy coloured building called Sana shopping) go straight through.

You'll now pass some shops/car rental companies on your right and go under the Metro work - at the next big set of traffic lights, take a right. Go straight all the way down this road until you come to a set of traffic lights where you'll see Families Supermarket. Take a right there. go straight, you'll pass Lulu on your right hand side and come to a roundabout, go straight through that. Take your next left. Now your first right.

This is Fake Goodie Land :) - the shops are now on your left and right - personally I prefer the shops along the left hand side. Enjooooy!!!! :thumbup:
