One of Dubai’s greatest visitor attractions is its superb shopping. The city draws large numbers of shopping tourists from countries within the region and from as far as Eastern Europe, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.
As an open port with low import duties, Dubai’s retail prices are reasonable and the variety of products available is virtually unrivalled.
Free of tax, many top brand-name products are cheaper in Dubai than in the countries of their origin.
Whatever the visitor’s tastes – be it couture from Paris or Milan, hi-tech electronics from Japan, or a piece of silver Bedouin jewelry – he or she will find it at the right price in Dubai.
In addition to the souk districts and shopping malls listed below, there are many top-class department stores and boutiques throughout the city.
