Dubai - Shopping till dropping
Shopping is undoubtedly one of Dubai’s greatest drawcards. Shopping in Dubai is largely divided into two types - the old souks (markets) and the glossy new shopping malls that have sprung up around the city at a rapid rate.The souks abound with sights, sounds and aromas that capture the essence of yesteryear. Bargaining is expected in all of the souks and is almost a national pastime. The narrow alleys of the Spice Souk on Al Sabkha Road are brimming with herbs, spices and infusions - jars of vanilla pods, baskets of frankincense and bottles of rose water. The buzzing Gold Souk on Sikkat Al Khali Street is a commercial centre offering the lowest prices in the world for jewellery craft, as well as being an experience in itself - each shop holds enough gold and gemstones to dazzle the onlooker. Tourists can visit the Fish Souk in Deira early in the morning and late at night to see local fishermen unload mountains of fresh fish, which they cheerfully haggle over with customers. On the Bur Dubai side of the creek a blaze of colourful raw silks and cottons hang in shop windows reminding visitors of an olden day bazaar. Quaint corner shops sell veils with decorated edges, pantaloons with embroidered anklets, and dresses with richly embellished necklines.
The multistorey shopping malls ensure that everybody’s shopping list is ticked off at the end of a stay. Without a doubt, the best value items at these enormous precincts are electrical goods and designer items. Local crafts of note include the emblematic Persian carpets, Bedouin ornaments, carved rosewood furniture, inlaid backgammon boards, and the ubiquitous coffeepot. The Dubai Shopping Festival is a massive event with almost every shop in Dubai slashing prices in a month-long retail bonanza. Dubai Summer Surprises offers supervised indoor entertainment for children in the hot summer months, enabling parents to take advantage of special bargain offers.
