First visit of the Gold Souk

12/28/2016 - After the creek, our driver brought us to a quick visit to the streets of the gold market, where usually women get crazy. The main street has a sign with the online quotation of gold, for all karats. You have local stores, where the prices can be as low as the metal price plus some 15 to 30 percent, or international stores, with Italian design, costing more than the double of the plain gold price. As is usual in any Semitic country, be prepared to bargain and to negotiate prices extensively.
What I hated the most are those guys bothering us all the time on the streets trying to sell fake watches and other stuff. My advice to the King: deport them all, so people could walk in peace!
