Dubai is the city that never stops shopping! Shopping in Dubai is so much more than retail therapy. Dubai’s shopping malls and markets are more like mini metropolises.
Start with the exotic country-themed sections of Ibn Battuta Mall (named for the Moroccan explorer) then head across town to the Egyptian-themed Wafi Mall. Along the way, visit the King Penguins at Ski Dubai at Mall of the Emirates before taking photos of the stunning Waterfall and Aquarium at The Dubai Mall.
For bargain buys, look no further than Dragon Mart (in the shape of a dragon) in International City, as well as the old souqs. Textiles, spices and gold lie in wait in the narrow alleyways of Deira Old Souq, while more modern interpretations can be found at Souq Al Bahar and Madinat Jumeirah.
Where else in the world can you take a break from your shopping to go for a quick ski session or swim with sharks? With over 95 shopping malls (the largest of which is The Dubai Mall at more than 12 million square foot) Dubai’s shopping centres are more like mini metropolises.
