Dubai is called the place where ‘the world comes to shop’, and there’s a reason for it. When it comes to luxury, from ultra-chic shopping malls that rival five-star hotels, to hypermarkets selling top fashion brands in clothing and jewelry, to shops selling electronics and other items, to selling something pretty authentic from traditional souks, Dubai has it all.
And for those looking for a bargain, Dubai offers a variety of destinations worth dirhams in terms of affordability.
