PACHA Ibiza Dubai Review

Souk Madinat is beautiful. It looks nice, and the shops etc. are beautiful ....

Parking ...seriously??? Only 2 hours!! What you can do there only for 2 hours?? We had coffe and my friend payed penalty:((( many people don't go there because of parking. Nice place, but you can have brunch, dinner in many other places and won't be bothered about parking

Wonderful place for families
Good Also for the activities
Nice view
A lot of options
Historical and parks are available for free for 2 hours

Nice place, with great small shops. Expensive, so be sure to do your regular shipping elsewhere.

Nothing really special to see here. But has a few places to eat, so it's ok.

A rather traditional shopping opportunity, quite expensive.

After having left Jumeirah Public Beach in disappointment, this souk and its surroundings came as a pleasant surprise. Good quality shops in the souk, although definitely designed for Russians, as expensive furs were everywhere to be bought. Some restaurants have great view on the internal canal and the Burj Al Arab. Have your gold (or better black) card ready here as prices are high.

It has the madinat theatre and some restaurants that we had to walk for so long to find. Also some coffee shops and terraces for eating outdoor. I think it's linked to the al qasr hotel also. There's an artificial lake outside which looked nice and boats to go on rides.

Cool at Hot weather. Authentic marketplace. Good quality merchandise sold

Very unique old souk market to take photo with Burj Al Arab nearby.

One of the coolest places in Dubai. The place offers an amazing view of the iconic Burj-al-Arab. There are several restaurants and cafes in the area. One can take an abra ride in the canal . The architecture of the souk is noteworthy, but the prices at the shop were tad expensive (as compared to other shops in Al Fahidi area.
Overall it is a one time visit.

Nice but expensive restaurants amazing location with view of burj al arab

Very nice, nice decoration to complete your photo album

You need a lot of patience and nerves to visit the souks in Dubai. And if you are a woman, do not go alone looking for a man to accompany you

Being in places of ancient Arab character is very interesting and photography with friends leaves you with a fingerprint and makes them beautiful memories.

Compared to other Souk this is very organized, has air conditioning and is nice to walk without the harassment of the vendors. However being in a place surrounded by recognized hotels is more expensive. In my opinion it is not a place to buy souvenirs but to walk it, browse the products they sell, have a coffee or eat in one of its restaurants there, additionally for the guests of the surrounding hotels there is a small boat. Those who are not guests can also book it at the Souk information point.

One of the best luxury shopping centre in the heart of Jumeirah Dubai.

Lovely atmosphere, keep in mind that you can always bargain in the small shops.

Great little boat tour around the hotel and excellent for pictures with the burj al arab behind you. Great selection of restaurants and really nice place for Friday brunch

Excellent for strolling and taking a person boat at 82 AED is considered very expensive for 15 minutes

Great place to go on a boat for a ride around the shops. Nice and relaxing with a huge choice of restaurants

Another place where the essence of tradition is felt especially where a man artistically draws camels, sunsets, very beautiful experiences. We want to come back to Dubai. I recommend Dubai to everyone reading, it's hassle free, we hope other cities learn from them

This is nice, a bit confusing though is the layout is maze-like to me. Lovely to sit and have lunch with a view of the water canal. I do prefer the original old souks down by the creek though.

Very beautiful place but not suitable for a family outing.

A market that combines modernity and heritage..and overlooks the Burj Al Arab..and a distinct lake, there are boats for rent and places for photography

Nice settings and no hassle from the stall holders. Head to Costa for a great view.

Much relaxing place reminding and modern look of old Dubai Abra

Souk-type "luxury" shopping center which provides access to a park made up of canals and restaurants. Very pleasant walks, possible channels to do by boat. To do.

A bit expensive but what a very beautiful place to visit....love the decor and atmosphere. Friendly people

An amazing place to visit only for the gardens and architecture but it is recomended to dinner and shop.

Beautiful, clean, chic, expensive, air conditioned ...
Not much of a traditional souk but interesting to visit
Free parking during the first two hours

The best place to visit for tourists. You can find some antique stuff there. Best place to take some great photos. Enjoy live music with Sheesha and some good food.

Beautiful place to shop and eating out. Therr is a canal in the area. Close to the beach. Very well kept and clean. Recommended.

the wooden ceilings bring back in time, it looks like an ancient Souk, like everything in Dubai very clean. As soon as you enter you are invaded by their unmistakable oriental perfumes; sandalwood, Jasmine and rose inebriate you. Elegant pashminas in cashmere of all colors, typical clothes of the place are beautiful, adorned with pearls and sequins, and then souvenirs of all kinds and finally the beautiful antique shop with inlaid furniture in really beautiful mother of pearl.

Very nice places to stay, restaurants and shops and structural backdrop

Awesome experience... but just a bit over priced... wouldnt recommend shopping, but pretty spectacular ... what an experience

I went there to practice photography. Great place to explore and relax

Went on a weekend in December and discovered that there was a Christmas market at the Souk Madinat. Christmas in an Arabic setting was a first for me.

A great spot to watch the sunset, take some cool pictures and enjoy some drinks!

Must place to see in person as its like no other place in the world

Nice place with good food options especially when it comes to getting the feel of Arabic culture.

One of my favorite places in Dubai. Stunning views of Burj al Arab and serene views of the water canal. Makes you feel for a brief moment that you are in Venice. Green and fresh. Plenty of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Steakhouse, Italian and Turkish I believe. A Costa is there too. Romantic bridges over the water. Plenty of souvenir shops inside. And authentic feel of the Arabic lifestyle with European views. Majestic glimpses of Burj al Arab through the palm tree leaves. You can hire a small boat to get you down the canal and enjoy the beautiful views. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy. Highly recommend.

Like a souk but with A/C, good choice of restaurants and shops.

One of nicest places in dubai. Completely artificial and built as purple bubble for tourist, but clean, big and nicely done. And sellers are not pushing and nagging which is big relief, you can actually look at stuff!
Plenty of shops, few restaurants, canals with boat ride. All feels like disneyland, just with shops

It is a very large shopping complex that is designed to look like a traditional market place in Dubai.
You will find some really unique souvenirs that you can purchase like Lamps, Idols, Perfumes etc.
There are shops where you can buy authentic Gold, Diamond, Platinum jewellery.
If you get tired by walking in the market, there are some really great Restaurants/Bars where you can relax, have a meal and then resume your shopping.
You can also take a boat ride in the lake that surrounds the Souk.
You also get a really good view of the Burj Al Arab from here and you can take some really amazing pictures of it.

Always love being here. Be prepared for 2 hours free parking and pricey bars

Traditional souq style market with Arabic touch in every corner....with the twist of new era

Touristy, waay too expensive especially for merchandise available for much better prices everywhere else, but a beautiful place to visit if you re in the area.
