The Power of Retail

The retail scene in Dubai is always buzzing. There is no off season for shopping it seems and people are flocking to the malls, coming from across the world and so happy to be buying the things that they are sure to have back home too. That’s the thing about shopping when one travels, one never bothers to do such an in-depth study of the markets in one’s own city, so often have no idea of what all is available and at what prices. When one visits another city, especially a city like Dubai, one wants to shop, regardless of whether it is something that we need or not, and often not even if it is available back home or not. One must have something that is bought on the trip. Thankfully, I am over my shopping stage, and would much rather see a place and buy just one or two small things to bring back as keepsakes.
