Dubai plans to introduce a unique 24-karat gold walkway by the end of 2026, aiming to attract tourists and strengthen its reputation as a global gold trading hub.

The project is part of the growing Dubai Gold District, launched in January 2026, which hosts more than 1,000 retailers across gold, jewellery, perfumes, cosmetics and lifestyle sectors.

Boosting Dubai’s Gold Tourism

The proposed walkway is expected to offer visitors a distinctive experience while encouraging them to explore Dubai’s gold and jewellery markets. It could also increase footfall for local retailers and enhance the city’s international appeal.

Sharjah Gold Souq and UAE Gold Shopping

Alongside Dubai’s expanding gold market, Sharjah Gold Souq remains a relevant destination for shoppers exploring traditional gold jewellery stores in the UAE. Customers can compare jewellery designs, gold purity, weight and making charges when choosing their purchases.

Conclusion

Dubai’s planned gold walkway could become a new tourist attraction and further strengthen the UAE’s position in the global gold industry, while traditional markets such as Sharjah Gold Souq continue to attract jewellery shoppers.
