Shopping For Gold With My Wife! (Dubai's Gold Souq)

hi where are you going shopping in sports schools yep why it's a sport so my wife is going shopping today and i thought why not follow her to observe and document what this sport really is all about let's go so as the saying goes around the world gold is a girl's best friend diamonds what do you mean diamonds girl's best friend really so as the saying goes around the world old is gold and the thing about it are you trying to say i'm old oh no just it's just the line that we're saying i don't think i think you're radiant okay i'll take them so today we're shopping old school style um so today we are shopping old school i can't get that out i got this i got this so today we're in the old market for a challenge we're going to the gold souk and we're going to see who can get a better deal she seems to think she's a professional shopper she's dressed like she's going for a jog but anyway i'm gonna juggle all around you so we're gonna go to the gold souk i'm gonna see who can get a better deal salama or me welcome to the challenge let me give you a bit of breakdown these markets have been around since the 1850s and they've basically been restored to maintain their traditional look so when anyone comes through these markets they are getting as a traditional experience as you can get when you come to this part of the world i'm gonna leave her to take her pictures because it's bringing her guard down you got nothing on me nothing nothing on me so if you're thinking about what you can buy in this market you can buy pretty much anything and everything from spices gold cutlery the options and the choices are endless so yeah well no no this is what you call getting creative with the mannequins here to give it a more of a a local feel so who so the question is who do you think has the better beard number one number two or number three i have to go with number three is [Music] she just keeps taking pictures of the same thing i'm updating my snapchat like how many get like an artist you're encouraging this i think whoever can bring the price down most from a percentage perspective wins the challenge the price that i won it's not whoever percentage is so if he goes like a thousand and i say no i wanted three hundred dollars if i get it for three whoever brings it down i don't know but i'm gonna win whoever's able to bring the price down most wins the challenge let's go there's the gold souk dubai the city of gold the largest gold souk in the entire world to put this challenge to the test all right so first things first senator's gonna identify a piece of jewelry that she wants and then the action begins so i need to so she's asking me to identify the piece okay can you give me like the cheapest necklace that you have the best necklace salama 1200 dirhams for this necklace let's see what you got how much you're gonna give me last 1200. no how much you're gonna give us 1200 i will not buy it with 1 000 he's holding on he's holding on you took the calculator off typing away who knows what you'll come up with now 1202 he did all that for nothing i haven't started yet there you go he's not moved an inch since you came he's standing at 1 200. what are you going to do is making the biggest mistake she hasn't given a counter offer where's her counter offer she just said i'm not going to buy it for this price [Music] because i already give you the best place so i will do something else come on eight hundred eight hundred the sadama's counter offer just take the l take the owl calculator because i give you originally really very good price to your amateur mistakes she hasn't done a counter she hasn't done the walk away she hasn't taken the calculator and punched in herself she did nothing it's embarrassing that was pathetic all right let me see what you got right now you did nothing yeah let me show you all oh it's done and let me show you how professionals do it because this loser doesn't have a clue can i see the most uh cheapest necklace that you have same challenge cheapest you have in here necklace assert your authority from the beginning let them know that you mean business first things first set the price you're going to learn today you're going to learn today i have a necklace here for 450 drums so let me show you the first thing that you do 450 yes first of all is the left good place no second you set the price you want i'll give you 200 derms just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine but you just can't get into it because they would never understand final price 250 dollars okay i'm going to go now huh i won't come back no i give you cheapest price for you see this one i give it a good price see the walk away 250. i make for you oh here it comes now yeah the calculator special support 425 kilometers what was the original price yeah 450 small things cheapest one best price mahmoud yeah thank you for your business i'm taking my business somewhere else i'm gonna leave now i won't come back i think what's hilarious about this is we both equally took heavy losses guy took 100 and he took 25 for you and then told you to leave exactly oh at least the guy was nice to me humiliated out of that shop this shop is keeping up with the times right you've got a mask and the golden mask on top of the mask so now that we've shown you some spices filled epically at buying gold i want to take you on one of my favorite ways to travel in the city let's go so we're taking abra which is a traditional boat that takes people across the creek and we're going to show you a little bit of the old city once she's done with her photo shoot are you done all right i think we've timed this uh abra trip or this boat trip perfectly let's look at the sun just setting and the old market you get that ah man that's what i love about this city man i love how you can just go back in time like that the weather is absolutely gorgeous i'm telling you salama let's do the titanic scene she's doing another photo shoot [Music] what is she doing look at this look at me look at me yes yes perfect yes cue the slow-mo now [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so we've come to a fresh juice stall to um get replenished and rehydrated dehydrate why did i do this to myself why did i think about complicated words why just start simply just have a drink so what i'm having is a traditional uh iranian dessert it's called faluda that consists of shaved ice so it's kind of like a snow cone um some vermicelli so those are those little noodles and some rose syrup to bring up those sugar to bring up the sugar levels it's been a long day so these are the things we say you better del gel or it cools the heart you're staring at it you're staring at it so on this note this is where we end the video today so question for all of you who do you think was the biggest loser yep stick that on your head who do you think was the biggest loser at bargaining we hope you enjoyed seeing the old dubai the old shopping experience right here in our home city much love god bless you
