By Enid Glasgow

Remember when you were a youngster and went into the candy store? There was so much ... it was everywhere. Where do you start? Exactly what do you get? Just how do you determine? Can you obtain everything? Dubai is a large candy store, every corner loaded with something to please your hunger for purchasing. From textiles and rugs to unique seasonings to fashion; you could locate everything. Seeing the souqs, shops, and shopping malls in Dubai is an incentive in itself, and perhaps you'll locate just the best treasure to memorialize your journey.

After you hit some stores, why not strike the slopes? The Shopping mall of the Emirates, one of the biggest worldwide, is jaw-dropping in scope, in charm, and in sheer range. With 2.4 million square feet of stores, there is something for every single one of the 31 million+ yearly site visitors to explore. The shopping center includes a lot of the familiar American and European brands, in addition to numerous luxury stores, galleries, cinemas, mosques, and, yes, the well-known ski incline. Ski Dubai is an interior skiing "resort," available to those that want to get a preference of the snow inside while temperatures outside rise.

The Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Shopping center, and other modern shopping centers provide more than simply a broad selection of stores: in the summertime, the mercury climbs past 100 F, making it impossible to walk outside for very long. Visitors and residents alike locate refuge in the cool shopping centers. You could still obtain a taste of Dubai, do some great people-watching, example genuine cuisine, and experience an additional society - you just do it far more conveniently!

If you are brand-new to Dubai, the traditional souqs might be intimidating. You do not have the knowledge of a shopping mall setting, and it takes some obtaining made use of to. To get your feet damp, go to Souq Madinat Jumeirah, a modern, cool shopping center. You will certainly find everything from beautiful carpetings and leatherwork to precious jewelry and accessories; afterwards relax in the revitalizing courtyards and sip a chilly beverage or see one of the dozens of dining establishments.

If you are really feeling daring and could take on the warmth for a bit, try a standard souq. They are no place near as sleek as the shopping malls; they are places where residents involve bargain for daily goods, where suppliers hawk their products, and where visitors aim to maintain. This is the least expensive purchasing choice in Dubai, and you could scoop up some deals. Right here, it is acceptable to haggle (if you select), and this can be an enjoyable part of the Dubai experience.

If you concerned Dubai for some reason other than shopping, you are mosting likely to have to expand your getaway. There are simply a lot of stores, way too many souqs, and too many opportunities to discover. When in Dubai, store!
