What to bring from Dubai during the festival?
Shopping festivals are a fairly new phenomenon in the European world, but it is with their help that the attractiveness of Dubai rises to the skies. During this important tourist event, the cost of many goods is reduced by more than half. This is used by many foreign travelers who at other times could not afford expensive things. The most popular items at this time are the following:
- woolen and silk carpets, works of art by local craftswomen;
- decorative daggers, practically no different from real weapons;
- hookahs skillfully finished with embossed metal;
- caskets made of precious wood species.
Along with expensive household items, you can buy groceries, take part in cultural and entertainment events for children and adults, and try "luck" in lotteries.
Fragrant and beautiful Dubai
Each nation has a special attitude to beauty, as well as to the process of its preservation and enhancement. Once in the main resort of the Arab Emirates, many women are amazed at the sheer number of beauty salons and shops. The women of the East also have their own secrets of attractiveness - these are fragrances. They practically do not use alcoholic fragrances, perfumes and deodorants, but they use aromatic oils with pleasure. They need to be applied directly to the body, the fragrance lasts much longer than using traditional perfumes, at the same time it is very delicate.
Beyond cosmetics, female tourists are delighted with the local fabrics to be seen in Bar Dubai, the most famous shopping spot that seems to have no streets, only markets and malls. Very beautiful natural fabrics are sold here, from affordable prices - chintz and cotton, to very expensive velvet and silk. The richest fabrics decorated with hand embroidery cost around $ 200 per square meter.
Delicious souvenirs
It is too hot in Dubai, so it is difficult to say which products can survive transportation to the tourist's homeland. The most popular among the guests are: Arabic coffee; dates; oriental sweets, traditionally called Iranian, but produced in local confectioneries.
As for coffee, I would like to note several nuances, firstly, many tourists are surprised by the aroma of the drink and the pungent taste, which is explained by the addition of cardamom to roasted and ground coffee beans. Secondly, in addition to, in fact, the packages of coffee, you can bring home a variety of accessories for brewing, from traditional Turks to technically sophisticated machines and coffee machines.
Gifts for lovely ladies
Dubai has prepared a lot of souvenirs for lovely ladies, besides the fabrics and incense mentioned above, you can safely buy precious jewelry, shoes and clothes. The resort's gold market impresses with its assortment and prices; traditional oriental jewelry and models are presented, representing the development of the most fashionable jewelry houses in Europe and America.
Shoes will also delight you with fashionable styles, high-quality materials and finishes. In Dubai, you can find shoes in branded stores of famous European brands, a large selection of such goods in large shopping and entertainment centers, and the prices are quite reasonable, undoubtedly, will delight a foreign buyer.
Another gift can become very symbolic - an old chest (or an antique stylized one). It acts as a kind of offer of a hand and heart, for it was in such chests that oriental beauties put their dowry.
Gifts with a masculine character
Dubai has prepared gifts not only for beloved women, there are many goods here that will be useful to the representatives of the strong half of humanity. It is for them that you can buy: hookahs; daggers; national clothes.
The UAE belongs to Muslim countries that do not accept alcohol, hookah is popular among tourists. The tradition of spending evenings on vacation over a hookah in a leisurely conversation with loved ones leads travelers to the idea that it would be nice to have the same apparatus at home. You need to be careful here, since a large number of souvenir goods are sold in local shops, only vaguely resembling a real smoking device. Real hookahs are quite expensive, besides, it is necessary to clarify whether there will be problems with its transportation across the border.
The same applies to daggers, khanjar, the traditional edged weapon of Arab men, causes sincere words of admiration among men. Naturally, none of the tourists is going to use it for its intended purpose. Therefore, most of the weapons sold in souvenir shops are beautiful stylizations. In the villages, you can try to find a real khanjar, although the traditions of blacksmiths are gradually becoming a thing of the past. The same can be said about the national dress - abaya, which is good in hot climates, but brought as a gift, most often remains as an interesting souvenir, and not part of the wardrobe.
So, Dubai amazes not only with quality rest and a lot of entertainment, but also amazing shopping, the result is full suitcases of gifts, vivid impressions and gorgeous memories.
