Shopping destination
I had been to the UAE to meet my friends just after Eid holidays. I stayed there just for a week and it was my first visit to the UAE and I loved the country very much. I have been living in the UK for almost 15 years and this was my first outing in 15 years with my family. Me and my family loved this outing. They enjoyed shopping and I found the UAE the perfect place for shopping. The best part of the UAE is that every shopping mall, be it small or big, has lots of parking space.
This is what I enjoy the most. I could visit Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, including Mercato mall. I found a place to park my car. I did not have to worry about parking at all during my stay in the UAE.
My shopping experience too was great. I could find all the global brands I have been using for many years. I did not have the time to explore Abu Dhabi this time but during the winter break I will surely come to explore Abu Dhabi and the UAE. I have heard Sharjah has some amazing museums, which is now on my wish list.
