Street made with literal gold to be constructed in Dubai

With tax-free salaries and a reputation for offering a luxurious lifestyle, Dubai is a city where the streets are said to be paved with gold.

That idiom is soon to be turned into reality as the UAE city is set to open a literal gold street, Euronews writes.

Part of the new Dubai Gold District, the street will be “constructed using gold”, although what that actually entails remains a mystery.

The Dubai Gold District was announced by the Dubai Media Office on Jan. 27. The opening date for the Gold Street is yet to be announced.

The Dubai Gold District is a rebrand of the city’s current Gold Souk. The area, which is located in Deira, is home to around 1,000 retailers who sell gold and jewellery.
