Madinat Jumeirah






Madinat SoukNewly opened at the Madinat Jumeirah Resort, this mall boasts around seventy shops, and has been designed to resemble a traditional street market or Souk. The outlets are high-end designer shops, and the jewellery is out of this world. It may not be one of the cheapest places to shop in Dubai, but it is certainly one of the best.

hamarain center


1997. It was the year when I first time I set foot in Dubai, and, the soil where Hamarain Center now gently stood was then an open field, I mean desert. I used to live behind it with my eldest sis. HC is connected with the now getting more grandeur JW Marriot Hotel. Upstairs are big Corporate Offices while small foodcourt and coffee shops occupies the lower level
It has fountains and cascading plants, and meant for very exclusive shopping.
It is probably the best place outside the souks to pick up local handicrafts and antiques. DSF has given life to the seemingly elegant, yet boring mall. But that was only during Summer.. The rest of the year is creepy.

So expect here a lot of (forgive my word) uncivilized UZI's, annoying nationalities who came with dirty slipper and garments and spent their times and noise. watch football..

SJCC is a crowded Mall in our neighborhood. We never really fail coming here in a month.
My fave store inside: Daiso of Japan (Dhs 5 for all items), Splash fashion and RR sportywear (but only during seasonal sales)..and Magic Planet for my nephew Romrom.
