Shopping in Dubai is considered the best in the entire Middle East. It offers everything. You may discover all different types of well-known international brands at the city's retail centers, as well as locally produced goods: textiles, furs, jewelry, perfumes, and much more.
Dubai Mall
It is the biggest shopping center in the world (over 1.2 million square meters). This shopping mall, which is located in the heart of the city, houses more than 70 stores with exquisite expensive clothes from great brands like Burberry, Tom Ford, Versace, Missoni, etc. In Dubai Mall, you can find not only shops but also all sorts of entertainment. For example, there is a fascinating oceanarium with sea dwellings, the golden "Gold Souk", the world's largest indoor market, an Olympic-sized ice rink, and even a waterfall with pearl divers.
Mall of the Emirates
It is the second largest mall in Dubai (600,000 square meters). The boutiques present clothes of both expensive brands: Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and budget ones, for example, H&M.
Moreover, there are hotel options, dining places, cinemas, and Ski Dubai, a well-known indoor ski resort. We talked about it here (ссылка на статью).
The largest indoor amusement park in the area is also located inside the Mall of the Emirates. In addition to a large number of rides, slot machines, slides, swings, and sports equipment, there is a bowling alley and billiards. The center also has a 14-hall movie theater.
Dubai Outlet Mall
Every self-respecting bargain hunter simply must visit the Dubai Outlet Mall discount center, located a 40-minute drive from the Downtown area. It is the only outlet center in the country that offers branded items from past collections at the most attractive prices. The shopping area of the mall is almost 700 thousand m2, which houses dozens of clothing, footwear, technology, jewelry, perfumery, etc. In addition to permanent discounts that can reach 90%, Outlet Mall constantly pleases its guests with special offers. On Mondays, discounts in some stores reach 50% for all products!
Dubai Marina Mall
A modern shopping and entertainment complex is located right on the embankment, inside an artificial bay. Among its competitors, it defines itself by being peaceful and quiet, free of lines and noisy people. Patrizia Pepe and Miss Sixty shops, Nike, Adidas, Lacoste sports and casual clothing discounts, home appliances, and electronics businesses, as well as a sizable Waitrose supermarket, are among the 160 mall's retailers. Numerous goods made locally are also available here. An ice rink, a movie theater, a theme park, and several restaurants are open for tourists as entertainment options at Dubai Marina Mall.
Ibn Battuta Mal
Dubai's most creative retail center is named after the famous Moroccan traveler who visited all the lands known at that time: China, India, Egypt, Persia, Andalusia, and Tunisia. It is in the style of these countries that the halls of the shopping center are decorated, which turns it into a real museum. Against the backdrop of the architectural and cultural diversity of each section, there are about 300 outlets where each customer can find goods to his taste and budget. And here is the very giant of electronics Sharaf DG.
It is better to go to Dubai during sales and festivals. So you can save a lot.
The Dubai Shopping Festival is the main annual sale in the country, which starts at the end of December and lasts for a whole month. Shops offer discounts of up to 70% on all goods, and in addition to bargains, concerts, shows, horse races, bullfights, fireworks over the Persian Gulf and other entertainment await all festival guests.
In the summer, during the month of Ramadan (from late May to early June), another large-scale sale takes place - “Summer Surprises”. Discounts in stores reach 70%, but it is better to count on 30-50%. At this time, many entertainment events are also held (special attention is paid to children), as well as lotteries with expensive prizes: you can win a house, a car or a large amount of money.
