The Dubai government has pulled out all the stops over the last number of years to attract tourists and tourist dollars to the area. By far the most popular attraction is the shopping in Dubai.

Whether traveling to Dubai for business or pleasure, you'll find a fantastic range of Dubai Hotels and Dubai hotel apartments for rent.

But other highlights that attract tourists include the beaches, and much more.

Dubai's most interesting shopping is to be found in the souks, located on either side of Dubai creek that runs through the city. Two of the most popular are the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk. Bargaining in traditional middle eastern style is an important part of the shopping experience in the souks.

In recent years the traditional type of shopping has met with stiff competition from more western style stores. You name it and you will probably find it in the boutiques and malls of Dubai. Fantastic shopping malls and upscale boutiques are now located throughout the city and carry literally any consumer item you can imagine: clothing, housewares, luxury items, cars, furnishings, jewellery, electronics, sporting equipment.
