Ave price: $279
Good hotel in average price range. Rooms and washrrom are nice and clean. Plus there is a nice pool, gym and steam bath. There are couple of restaurants but food taste is below quality.
2. BurJuman Shopping Center
BurJuman is in Bur Dubai near Sheraton Four Points. It is similar to other malls in Dubai. Food court is excellent.
3. Damascus, Restaurant
A restaurant in Dera Dubai. Probably the Food here is the best Arabic food in Dubai
Desert Safari is a must in Dubai. Almost all hotels have tourism desk from where the trip can be arranged. Safari at Hata desert is the best. Don't go for it at Awer desert
At Carrefour in City Center you can buy practically everything at reasonable prices.
6. Gift Village
Heaven for cheap rate and good quality shopping. It is at walking distance from City Center, Deira
7. IBN Battuta Shopping Mall
The mall if not know for its shopping but its architecture. It includes 6 different courts (China, India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia, Andalucia) reflecting the art and culture of countries which were explored by famous traveler IBN Battuta
8. Day 2 Day, Shopping Center
Day 2 Day is in Karama area in Bur Dubai. All items here are at cheap price (2 Dirhams). Quality of most of them is not good (chinese stuff). However if you keep your eyes open you might be able to get some good items (Hint: Go for toys and home decoration)
