Shopping in Dubai.

The following pictures are from the Ibn Batuta mall.  he was an explorer who lived in the 14th century.  Each area in the mall is decorated to look like a country he visited.  Unfortunately they don't have a little market square at the entrance to each area where they could sell local wares from that particular country.  It would have made it more authentic.  But it was really a fantastic mall.










I bought this one, a red Tabriz rug.


I love shopping for Persian rugs in The Middle East.  We went to the Madinat Jumeira shopping mall.  It is built like an old zouk, and has a lot of atmosphere.  It is right down by the Burge al Arab.


Where can you find a shopping Mall with an Aquarium and a waterfall?  In Dubai of course.
