Synonymous with exciting shopping adventures, Dubai sits on top when it comes to shopping complexes. Aside from the traditional souks found around Dubai, Sharjah and other emirates, shopping malls in Dubai are, without a doubt, one of the top city attractions. There are more malls in Dubai than anywhere else in the Middle East! There are many who visit Dubai specifically to shop-‘til-they-drop. Many Dubai hotels provide transportation to a number of malls in Dubai exemplifying the importance of shopping in the city. Modern shopping malls in Dubai are distributed in areas all around the city accommodating visitors and locals alike.
Choosing which Dubai mall to explore will depend on if you’re looking for great prices or more upscale shopping and dining. When to go depends on which day of the week it is. On the weekends any Dubai city mall will be jam-packed with people so it’s best to arrive early. Though shopping hours can vary, the most common hours are 9am through 1pm and about 4pm through to 9pm and sometimes later. Fridays are the most important day for prayers and all stores close from 11:30am to 1:30pm. To counter the afternoon lull, most malls in Dubai are open quite late on Friday nights.
