Many travelers who visit Dubai stay in one of the many Dubai furnished villas and Dubai hotel apartments open to tourists. People visit Dubai as perhaps nowhere else in the Middle East because of the incredible contrasts offered by this deeply traditional, yet amazingly modern city.
Dubai shopping is an important draw for tourists, and the visionaries who created Dubai's unique shopping centers made sure that visitors would not be at a loss for anything. What makes Dubai Shopping most unique is the opportunity to purchase top brand products cheaper than anywhere else, because of its duty free laws and low import taxes.
The best way to experience Dubai shopping is by going to the open-air fairs and souks where spices, food, carpets, hookahs, gold and textiles are sold by local merchants. Indeed, the market places and malls throughout Dubai offer an unbelievable range of products of all kinds. This is a major attraction and draws shopping tourists from all over Europe and the Middle East and even as far away as Eastern Europe, India, and North America.
The ultra-modern shopping malls of Dubai offer a striking contrast to the traditional souks. These supremely modern malls sell just about any modern product you can imagine: clothing, cars, furnishings, jewelery, electronic gadgets, household goods - you name it and you can probably find it in the immense shopping malls of Dubai.
