Top of the Shops
With the UAE playing the tourism game, highlighting shopping as a major attraction and pastime, and with all the malls in place, it comes as no surprise that the UAE shoppers ranked second in global ACNielsen survey on recreational shopping
According to the ACNielsen Online Consumer Confidence Survey conducted in 42 markets, 30 per cent of consumers in the UAE go shopping ‘at least once a week’. This figure was only second to Hong Kong which stands at 36 per cent. To further emphasize the UAE’S love of shopping for entertainment, the combined UAE percentage of respondents who shop for ‘something to do’ either ‘twice a week or more’, ‘once a week’, ‘once a month’, or ‘less than once a month’ was recorded among the top 10 worldwide, at 84 per cent.
I won't be surprised if the UAE jumps past Hong Kong to number 1 next year.

there is a catch here. shoppers here 'visit' malls, but not realy do shopping. do u see more ppl just stroam around in malls more or u see them carring shopping bags more?
I see more malls, and I see not much else to do. And I see many expensive items being bought at a cheaper price, but regular items for the plebs like us, selling at a normal rate. Sale prices these average priced international goods are only a little cheaper than their retail in their host countries.
