The gold souk in Dubai is very busy too. They were talking about it on the radio tonight, with lines out the door apparently, and I know my local was busy on Sunday. I bought on Sunday, and then again on Monday, but the main bullion dealers were closing when I got to the souk on Monday, but there were still a few outside trying to get in. I had to buy at one of the jellery shops instead.
