From traditional pieces to contemporary patters, an eclectic spread from amongst 300 shops awaits your eyes and pockets! Known for its high purity and compelling prizes, no gold lover should give this place a miss!
P.S.: A purchase during the annual shopping festival could make you richer! Lucky shoppers can win up to 19 kilograms of gold every day!!
Dubai Mall

For the diamond obsessed, hit the bigger brands like Damas, Chopard or Cartier … With baubles for everyone, you won’t be disappointed! Must check out the exquisite animal inspired jewelry by Robert Coin.
A watch almost completes one’s outfit! But if you don’t want to settle for just ‘almost’, visit Folli Folli. This Greek brand offers 360 degree fashion solutions! So when you walk in to the store, be rest assured to find a cool watch with a matching bag and matching jewelry!
Pamper your feet with shoes from Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Giuseppe Zanotti and even Christian Louboutin!
Step behind this mall and you witness the world’s tallest wonder – The Burj Khalifa! The magnificent structure on one side and the dancing fountains on the other, make for an unforgettable experience!
Madinat Jumeirah
Jumeirah in Arabic means beautiful…True to its name this calm oasis is the best place to soak in a blend of cosmopolitan features and traditional Arabic roots. Travel around in the Abra (traditional Arabic boat) and visit the Madinat Jumeirah souk which is ideal for shopping some Arabic goodies!
Get enchanted by the organic aromas of different Oudhs! Oudh is the local perfume offered in a variety of flavors and in bottles of intriguing shapes and sizes and quite often at great bargains! And if you’re experimental, you could even concoct your personalized Oudh mix!
BEST BUY: Get yourself a conventional Jalabiya. This exquisite garment resembles the widely worn Kaftan but comes in an array of beautiful colors with lovely embroidery! Can be worn to a wedding, a function or one could get the shorter ones and wear them as dresses or tunics!
