Tips, answered

Horse riding costs AED 60 for 20 minutes. Book slots at the stables early on weekends as they fill up by 10am.

Plan for about 3h 30m.

Mushrif Park is in the Deira neighborhood of Dubai. The address is 6FF2+FV8 - Al Khawaneej St - Dubai - United Arab Emirates. The area is well-served by metro.

This works well at any time of day, though mornings tend to be quieter. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends.

Comfortable shoes are recommended. Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, especially in shoulder seasons.

Market

Gold Souk

The Gold Souk in Deira is over 200 shops in covered alleyways displaying more gold per square metre than anywhere else on earth. The window displays are absurd: necklaces that weigh kilos, bangles in every shade of gold from pale Italian to deep Middle Eastern, diamond-encrusted pieces that could fund a small country, and the occasional massive chain that looks like it belongs in a hip-hop video from 2003. The prices are based on the daily gold rate (displayed on screens in every shop) plus a craftsmanship markup. This means the gold itself is priced fairly and the negotiation is really about the making charge and the design premium. Haggling is expected, not optional. Start at about 50% of the asking price. The vendor will counter. You will settle around 65-75%. If the price does not move, walk away. They will often call you back with a better offer. You do not have to buy anything. Walking through is free and the visual spectacle alone is worth the visit. The souk is covered and air-conditioned, which makes it comfortable year-round. The alleyways are labyrinthine but small enough that you cannot get truly lost. The vendors are persistent but not aggressive, and a polite 'just looking, thank you' works. The best approach: arrive by abra from Bur Dubai (AED 1), walk from the Deira Old Souk abra station through to the Gold Souk (2 minutes), browse for 30-60 minutes, then continue to the Spice Souk and Perfume Souk nearby. The whole loop takes 2-3 hours and is the single best cultural experience in Dubai for the price of an abra ticket.
