Dubai tax free shopping, shops, malls and stores
Guide to shopping in Dubai
There is literally no limit to what you can buy in Dubai. Not only is shopping in Dubai tax free, but there are almost free seasonal giveaways available by some of the top malls in the region. Dubai has much to offer the shopping enthusiast from Persian carpets to Indian Saris, from gold items to the best in luxury cars and designer retail outlets.
One of the biggest selling goods in Dubai today is jewellery, or more specifically, gold jewellery. Next in line, would be the fashion boutiques and the designer clothes sold in Dubai. While certain brands are available in different parts of the world, Dubai is one of the few cities in the world where every brand can be found.
If you love a bargain, the Souks of Dubai are highly recommended. Bustling with activity, these souks resemble the traditional Arabian marketplaces of yore. The Gold Souk in
particular is the place to visit for everything from necklaces and bracelets to rings, earrings and filigree crafts. Alternatively, if you want to avoid the Dubai heat, the city offers a bevy of air-conditioned malls that offer almost all the same things as the souks do.
The best mall to visit in Dubai is without a doubt the Mall of the Emirates. With a fourteen screen cinema, two world food courts, an arcade and a bowling alley, not to mention the mammoth Ski Dubai, the Mall of the Emirates is home to more that four hundred stores and a total of sixty five restaurants. Wafi City, BurJuman Centre and Souk Madinat Jumeirah are also well worth a visit.
Further Information: There is a large variety of Dubai holiday hotels in addition to various other accommodation options.
