Residents and tourists in Dubai, it’s imperative that you discover Dubai and all that the glistening City offers. Many sightseeing spots you may have heard of due to the immense popularity, and some may be new to you.

People have different interests. Luckily Dubai has something for all. If you love shopping especially, then you have one of the biggest malls in the World to check out, the Dubai Mall, as well as plenty others.

Shopping is also an experience to say the least. Some malls have impressive interior designs, such as IBN Battuta where each section resembles a different part of the World. Picture-perfect sections to post to the ‘gram.

Then there’s Wafi Mall, Egyptian style with pyramids and statues of the Pharaoh’s etc. The colourfully glass stained ceilings are extremely artistic. It’s more like stepping into a museum than it is a shopping centre. Definitely a must-see if you’re interested in ancient history.

Mercato Mall is another top-spot, styled in a Mediterranean / Venetian way. Decorated to resemble a cosy village, with cobbled flooring, stoned buildings of different colours, and a variety of visually appealing balconies, you no longer feel like you’re in Dubai.

Souk Madinat is a stunning area, full of markets, Arabian style decor, handcrafted pieces, think rugs, gold, clothes and also perfumes and spices, as well as much more. A lovely atmosphere, surrounded by restaurants and clear blue water with boats to enjoy. Also there’s Gold Souk, Souk Al Bahar, Al Seef, and countless other Souks.

You can dine with penguins in the Mall Of Emirates, at Ski Dubai, and who wouldn’t want to snap some shots of that? Incredible.

Then there’s the Dubai Mall, which has an ice-skating rink, as well as the Dubai Aquarium, and Underwater Zoo, plus an indoor fountain with diving mannequins, which people stop to take photos, also including Chinatown with it’s neon signs, lanterns and Pan-Asian food stalls.

These places will certainly make your shopping trips more enjoyable.
