I'm gonna write about one of the best shopping places I've been too. Its not just the variety which made me go over my "Shopping budget", its the uniques and the architectural sense that makes each mall stand out. I would say its like entering casinos in Las Vegas, you feel like your in a different world when you enter Luxor, or Paris or New York New York. Check back for my post on Las Vegas!!
Can you ever visit a tourist destination and start off your trip by visiting shopping malls?? Well that is how my Dubai trip began. The first place I saw in Dubai was Burjuman Mall, one of the world's most luxurious malls. With over 300 stores you'll surely be spoilt for choice. The mall looked like an ocean-liner from the outside.
I also liked the Mall of Emirates. The part I enjoyed the most was Ski Dubai. Read more on Ski Dubai in my previous post. I also enjoyed the time I spent at the "Toy Store" :D
Another mall I visited was Ibn Battuta Mall. It is named after a famous explorer, Ibn Battuta. The mall has cultural and historic values of the different countries, namely, India, China, Egypt, Persia, Tunisia and Andalusia.
Lastly let me introduce Madinat Jumeirah, a part of Madinat Jumeirah Resort which resembles an ancient Arabian citadel and is very pretty. It has a very vibrant and colorful market where you can find very creative and ancient artifacts. I must warn you that the artifacts are very expensive and if you happen to visit Dubai during Dubai shopping festival, you can purchase the same stuff at half the prices from Global Village. You should definitely take the Abra Tour, a very peaceful boat ride along a small watercourse with views of the Jumeirah Beach, Burj Al Arab and the Madinat Jumeirah resort.
There are various souks (an open-air market) around the city like the Gold souk; Gold is a serious business in the middle east, food souk, textile souk and spice souk. Another famous place to visit is Meena Bazaar.
I definitely want to visit Dubai and shop. I have plans to save all my shopping expenditure for the entire year and shop all for once at Dubai. I know how close I'm getting to that :P
