Shopping-spree in Dubai

Dubai is known as one of the biggest shopping centers in the world or a "shopping paradise". It's common to see shopaholics from every continent rush to Dubai to shop however they want.

1. Emirates Mall

Among the shopping centers, Emirates Mall stands out as one of the most spectacular architectures in the world. Emirates Mall has over 700 stores with mostly luxury high-end brands such as Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, Armani, D&G, etc. Most consumers are from Europe, some are from Asia - mostly Japanese, the rest are Arabs. That explains the wealthy upper class coming to these high-end stores. Each tourist wander around the mall with at least one bag of a luxury brand.

2. Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall is also a favourite mall of the shopaholics as this place has over 2,200 luxury brand stores, which make it even more thrilling yet challenging to shop. Dubai Mall opens its doors from 10 a.m. to midnight daily. You don't have to pay to wander about, but certain attractions in the mall will charge admission.

3. Other Malls

On the other hand, there are also more "affordable" shopping malls in Dubai, such as Ibn Battuta - world's largest themed shopping mall with more than 270 shops, Festival City - a large residential, business and entertainment development, Deira City - the original flagship mall in the Majid Al Futtaim Properties portfolio, etc.

4. Dubai Shopping Festival

Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) takes place at the start of the year and attracts thousands of tourists each year. During the festival, every major shopping mall starts discounting all kinds of items, from clothes, cosmetics, electric devices, vehicles, furnitures, etc. to even gold.

5.  Gold Shopping

Dubai people are generally extremely wealthy. That's how some "gold markets" were founded in the city as more and more rich people have demands over gold adornments. If tourists want to buy real gold, Gold Souk is the most highly recommended place to stop by. The government is really strict when it comes to the goods' authentication so tourists don't have to worry about "fake" gold.
