Souks
Souk is the Arabic word for market and a visit to one is an essential part of the Dubai experience. Haggling is traditional in the souks and can result in massive reductions in prices. As a general guide, make a first offer of 50% of the quoted price. Once the shopkeeper has accepted your offer, you are expected to pay. Many of Dubai's souks are found in Deira.
