The Dubai government has made a concerted effort over the last two decades to pull tourists and tourist dollars to the emirate. The most popular attraction by far is the Dubai shopping.

More and more people are traveling to Dubai for both business and pleasure. At DubaiShortStay.com, you will find a huge range of Dubai vacation rentals just waiting for you.

But next on the list of things to see and do are the old cultural districts, the fantastic new buildings and developments, international sporting events, and hotels and villas located on the sparkling beaches of the Persian Gulf.

The souks of Dubai offer the most alluring shopping experience in the city. They are located on either side of Dubai creek that runs through the heart of the area. Two of the most popular are the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk. When you visit the souks be prepared for bargaining in traditional middle eastern style. It is an integral part of the shopping experience in the souks.

In recent years the usual style of shopping in the souks has met with stiff competition from western style shopping as fantastic shopping malls and boutiques have opened throughout the city. Dubai's modern shopping malls sell almost any consumer good you can imagine: clothing, cars, furnishings, jewellery, electronics, sporting equipment - you name it and you can probably find it in the shopping areas and malls of Dubai. And often all of these consumer items are under the same roof.
