The hotel guide from Coral Travel advised you to go to a cheap jewelry store (they say you won't find it cheaper in Dubai). It was the first time in the country that they thought they were offering the most famous jewelry market, which they really wanted to see. They agreed.
A very comfortable car came for us free of charge and took us to the store. By the way, it wasn't what we were thinking. It turned out to be a large jewelry store, inside it was beautiful and very European, there was nothing from the East except carpets (because the neighborhood with a carpet store).
A consultant immediately approached us and very politely and persistently offered to buy something. By the way, when I noticed the prices, I was stunned. This is something fabulous: give 2500 dirhams (more than 60 thousand rubles) for a small pendant of dubious beauty (well, gold!). Something doesn't look like the "cheapest store" according to Coral. Well, of course, business on tourists is such a thing. In short, the products are beautiful and not very good, but in the European style, you should not expect local flavor.
The prices for everything are Mega big, a consultant runs around with the words "oh, don't look at the prices, we'll make a discount."
For some reason, there was increased attention to me due to the fact that I did not get out of the phone, the consultant directly asked me to remove and pay attention to her, by the way, she had this attention, just not from me. Meanwhile, I was studying reviews on all platforms. By the way, there is Internet everywhere in the UAE, right there, the Internet is not open. Well, I had my own mobile phone, so this problem did not become.
Let's go back: we were persistently led through the rows, the consultant is very polite, attentive, but annoying horror :)) As a result: we bought a necklace (my mother insisted very much, despite the fact that I warned her). Its price was about 3700 dirhams (about 100 thousand rubles), it was possible to reduce it to 30 thousand, which, in principle, is plus or minus as in the Russian Federation, so we bought it. You can pay by transfer with a Russian card, but somehow the transfer from dirhams to rubles with a wild margin (30 thousand turned into 34) well, okay. We were treated to coffee, a beautiful box, and so on.
I'm still suspicious, if the necklace doesn't fall apart after a while, it'll be nice. They give a 5-year warranty, but will anyone go to the emirates to change a chain or a ring?)) They are not allowed to take pictures of products yet (why?)
I give three stars for the transfer, service and the opportunity to finally buy something at a reasonable price. But if you have a choice, don't come.

Just a bunch of charlatans, a tour operator on a percentage hike, heals to the maximum!!Don't get fooled there, I'm completely cheating..you can find the same thing in malls, but it's cheaper by 10 thousand!!!
They have price speculation there!!if the tour operator offers to go immediately, refuse, the purest market with high prices and questionable goods!
Lying sellers....

I can say that buying jewelry in this store is a benefit for business owners, for buyers it is a dubious benefit, since at the entrance they will not show you the real price and they will also add that "do not pay attention to the labels with the price-I will sell you cheaper myself / myself." Get ready to bargain hard, immediately-50%, and then-as lucky.

The service is good, but the sellers are very cunning. Although it is located in the duty-free zone, the prices are not at all lower, and may even be higher than in similar stores. I was looking for a watch, in a nearby store, 8 minutes away, it was cheaper by $ 30. But, of course, prices are lower than in Russia.

It's a disgusting store. Very poor service. The girls at the reception are not able to explain anything. It feels like everyone who has not been useful anywhere in Dubai has been gathered here. I don't want to talk about the product at all....
I ask the owners of this business to pay attention to the staff. It's just terrible.
I would strongly advise you to dismiss the entire shift working at the reception on 17.11.24 at 15 o'clock.
