hi guys,please i need tips on shopping in dubai?where to have good bargains?etc thanks

thanks jassie.bottom line gold=gold souk

talking of clothes ,phones, where do i get good bargains

Emirates Mall or the Emirates High Street,

You can get good bargains for clothes at Al Ghurair Centre near deira.The mall is not as large as emirates mall and you can browse it all in about 2 hours .For good bargains on phones try Jumbo store @ Century Mall.for Shoes try Viauno @ century mall also;its a brazillian store and their shoes are built to last.

@Naijagirly,
Great references here.Im yet to go to these places you mentioned but will give them a try in october. I had assumed nothing is cheap in dubai because most of the clothes,female suits, phones and electronics i bought were expensive!
Can i have your email so i can exchange some reference pricing with you?

for female suits and shirts try the ECCO shop in Al ghurair mall, They have nice stuffs and the prices are right,

@Naijagirly
Great reference once again as i havent checked these shops before,
Are u in dubai anytime in october??

Mid October Yes;but not sure of the dates yet,

Sholatech, when will u be in Dubai?

Naijagirly, nice one there,

Will look up some of those tomorrow, will be off to Dubai after close of work for the weekend

@ Feasy1 if you are looking for bargains on male footwear there is a shop on the upper level of century mall I can't seem to place the name now.They have good male shoes .Its brazilian and vietnam built and they really last.I buy male shoes there and the prices are btw 100dirhams to 300dirhams thats $30-$80.There is also a giordano shop on the lower level and you can try for male jeans and underwear.Giordano products are nice and economical.For other things try Al Ghurair Centre cos thats where you will get the best bargains.If you looking into furniture try IKEA store.You will be suprised at the prices.My best bargain was a TV stand I bought about a year ago.I got it for about $40 and even though I had to cargo it it was still worth it.They have loads of stuff for all parts of the house to the garden.Also a warning don't buy any electronics in Deira.

Thanks Naijagirly, you've been of immense help, I'd been searching where to get good footwears, will definitely look up Century Mall. 30 to 80USD is amazing for good male shoes. I bought furnitures already, was a pity i couldnt make the trip to IKEA then but will give them a shot soon for an upgrade, IKEA has been tried and tested while i was in Europe.

Thanks for the recommendation. Should hit the road in 2 hours

@Naijagirl
Please where is Ikea located in Dubai?The girl i travelled with in august didnt know the place.i asked him severally!
Any date fixed for your trip yet?

HI , Shola,
I was in Dubai over the weekend and I saw IKEA along the road to DEIRA, I have forgotten the exact name of the location but trust the Taxis will be able to help out.

Good luck man

IKEA is located in festival city

wow, karama? bliss?

I want to travel to Dubai this december?? how do i go about it as i have never been to the country before,

where are you?
look for the closest UAE embassy or consulate around you they should be able to help.
What nationality are you? some nationals do not need visas to travel to the UAE although, there is a stipulated time for them to leave. A UAE visa is pretty easy to get and quite cheap also. There are a lot of topics on here telling folks how to get one.

I'm a nigerian based in Nigeria

i'm not exactly sure of howto go about getting a visa from nigeria, though i've read a lot of accounts of people going thruough agents and all of that. A good way however will be to go to emirates airlines and make enquiries.

Ok thanks
