If retail therapy is just what the doctor ordered during your trip to Dubai, then you have come to the right place. As an open port with low import duties, Dubai’s retail prices are reasonable. Free of tax, many top brand-name products are cheaper in Dubai than in the countries of their origin. Shopping, in all its forms, is one of the great pastimes enjoyed by locals as well as ex-pats and the many tourists that visit. You can spend many hours, as well as many Dirhams wandering around vast shopping malls that cater for all tastes and brands.
