Pretend to be a window shopper first to check the prices. Very first time I went i was lured by the very first shopkeeper but after few shops i got to know that i paid almost double in the first shop and lower quality.so do the survey and than buy it..Keep something in your hand to eat so that you can look relaxed and not in hurry..keep munching while talking to those shoppkeepers...it is a mystery tip by a european traveler on discovery.i strictly follow it now and it gives back the amazing bargains..try it...lol..

Souq Waqif was numero uno on my list too.. I thought, just in case there was some other marketplace which caters to spice, I might as well ask.

Are all the above spices available there? And is there any particular vendor who is recommended or are they all same?

And even in Lulu Hyper Market or FFC also you will get but in Souq Waqif you will get most fresh and best prices ...
