Dubai – Famous Shopping Destination

Shopping is a kind of national past time of people of the UAE. They just can’t imagine their lifestyle without shopping. Moreover, apart from Dubai property, shopping is also a major attraction for tourists coming here. Earlier, there was the trend of doing shopping from traditional souqs there, but now the glitzy and glamorous malls have replaced the fact. Although, Dubai is famous for its shopping malls, but, traditional souqs as we have talked about are still in the limelight. This resulted in a mixed shopping of traditional and modern stuff as some people prefer to purchase it from traditional souqs whereas, some prefer to buy it from famous Dubai shopping destinations. In some emirates in the UAE, you can find all the traditional stuff ranging anything from a bag to a gold necklace.

Souqs are the destinations which make you feel a part of this country and are the easiest way to get familiar with UAE’s rich culture and heritage. Generally, these souqs are being divided into areas selling similar goods as there are perfume souq, gold souq, fabric souq, spice souq and many more. On the other hand there are contemporary designed shopping malls. These malls offer an incredible range of the world’s well known international brands. Moreover, Dubai is known as the shopping capital of the Middle East. People enjoy a tax free lifestyle here and thus, the tourists also get the benefit in their shopping. As far as shopping is concerned, other emirates should really try hard to beat Dubai, but now Abu Dhabi has joined the race and is trying to catch up fast. There is a lot more to compare between various shopping destinations in Dubai.
