The Middle East has transformed itself into a world class centre over the last few years. Just like China,People from all over the world go crazy shopping in Dubai Articles which made the world sit up and take notice of how fast it progressed, nations in the Middle East did so too with their extravagance, luxury and penchant for the good life. UAE especially, has wowed people so much that tourism has become one of the main and fastest growing sources of income for the nation.

The number one reason people travel to UAE is to splurge in the financial capital of the country, which is Dubai. Tourists just can’t get enough of shopping in Dubai. They are taken aback by the rows of huge glittering malls and shopping districts which promise to fulfil all their luxurious desires. In fact if one were to only visit malls in the city, it would take no less than a week to do so for they are not only huge in size, they are also large in number.

Reams of paper will fall short to describe the beauty and magnificence of Dubai shopping malls which are the primary attraction for tourists visiting the city. The metropolis boasts of having the largest mall in the world which is The Dubai Mall containing 1,200 shops, 6 floors and occupying a whopping area of 502,000 square metres. There is no item in the world which you cannot get in this city and its malls. Everything from lifestyle goods to entertainment options, automobiles to groceries and high end products, are available in the Middle Eastern wonder.

These malls are not your regular shopping centres where people go only to shop, eat and at the most entertain themselves with some movies, gaming zones and bowling alleys; they offer much more than that. There are a plethora of things to do in Dubai besides plain old shopping (although women would be glad doing just that). For starters there is the Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre, developed and operated by Oceanis Australia Group which officially earned the Guinness World Record for the world’s “Largest Acrylic Viewing Panel”.

Then there is the SEGA Republic, a 76,000 sq ft indoor theme park where visitors can enjoy over 150 amusement games. It is a park that is mainly dedicated to SEGA’s icon Sonic the Hedgehog. You can have a wild time at the famous Wild Wadi water park and revel in the beauty of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world.

The Dubai museum is must visit for tourists who would like to gain more knowledge about the past of this glamorous city. There are umpteen things for kids to do in the city and if you are travelling with one, do not miss out on the Dubai zoo which is a splendid park filled with exotic animals. The awesomeness of those who have made this metropolis a truly international centre can be seen through The World or World Islands which is an artificial archipelago of various small islands constructed in the rough shape of a world map, located 4km off the coast of Dubai. So, if you are here do not miss out the opportunity of shopping in Dubai and treating yourself to a great experience.
