The Dubai government is doing it's utmost over the last number of years to attract tourists and tourist dollars to the emirate. The most popular attraction by far is the Dubai shopping.

There are many fantastic hotels. But they also come with outlandish prices. Rather than staying in one of those fantastically over-priced Dubai hotels, consider a Dubai villa instead.

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 malls and market places of Dubai are stocked with an incredible stock of consumer goods and draw many thousands of shopping tourists from all parts of Europe and the Middle East and even as far away as Eastern Europe, India, and North America.

In recent years the usual style of shopping in the souks has met with stiff competition from western style shopping as giant shopping malls and boutiques have been built throughout the city. Dubai's modern shopping malls sell essentially 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.
