I started my first day in Dubai with "Mall of The Emirates", the currently largest shopping mall in the middle-east. We got there by a private taxi which cost us AED 25. When we got out of the car, I was hit by a really hot wind (the temp was 48c.!!) so we quickly got inside the building for air-conditioning. There are tons of stores like Louis Vuitton, Boss, Mont Blanc etc... There are also another two malls inside, Harvey Nichols and Debenhams where you can spend all day enjoying your retail therapy and just have fun!!
