Since arriving here, I have had to do LOTS of shopping to get new things for my apartment. The malls here are absolutely insane, as there are many people with money to spend. In fact, many of the typical American brands are available here and some places will even alter clothes as part of the pricing. Interesting, considering that the local people here wear the abaya (women) and the dishdash (men) which also come in a full range of designer brands:
Here are some pictures I took of shopping malls in Dubai! Included here are the Mall of the Emirates, Festival City, and Dubai Mall.
Even the grocery stores here are crazy... here is the inside of the local Lulu's Hypermarket, which has every type of food you could think of from around the world. I have been cooking more indian food, as the availability of spices is wonderful :) Please notice that there is a swimming pool and arcade in this grocery store!
