The vacation in Dubai cannot be completed without at least one visit to the local market - souk.
Most of the traditional markets are located in Deira, where one can bargain for the precious items made of gold, silk clothes or exotic spices.
Dubai is a city of trade, and the new shopping malls are build all over the new commercial centres. There are all leading world branded shops, with any item possible to buy.
Among over 50 existing shopping centres five are the most reputable : BurJuman Centre, Deira City Centre, Ibn Battuta, Mall of the Emirates and Mercato.
The biggest mall in Dubai - Mall of the Emirates features only 400 shops, and soon will be pushed into the second place by even bigger Mall of Arabia.
Tourists who didn't spend all dirhams are given the last chance at the Airport's Duty Free Zone - the biggest one in the world.
