I saw the lamps at the bazaar in Dubai. To bring chandeliers from the UAE is really exotic. But they should be in the malls too.

Someone mentioned a shop in Deira. In general, besides the generally accepted, what can be brought to memory?
аватар ilika15
Silk, souvenirs, dried fruits were brought, I want to be original)
аватар ollennka
I'm not an adviser here. I usually bring only edible or cosmetic souvenirs, because I myself don’t like dust collector souvenirs and I don’t put this pig on others.
аватар ollennka
Or a jeweler. There is a good gold market in Dubai, there is probably something you can look after ..

Dragon Mart))) all Chinese junk is there))) be original!
crystal is out of fashion now)
dragon has so many chandeliers for every color and taste

This chandelier from Dubai will be 100% Chinese made.
There is nothing original in Dubai. There is no production of its own, everything is imported, from spices to chandeliers ..
аватар Anetka-gan
there is a production here ... furniture, ceramics, etc.
аватар kolyan_cat
there is little but everything is done by the hands of Pakistanis and Indians. It can hardly be attributed to "local" goods.

At the intersection of Al Maktoum Hospital Road and 19a street in Devon, there is a shop with chandeliers like
аватар Anetka-gan
enough local production. and large factories are controlled by European specialists.
there are Indians who make chic wooden furniture. there are people who do shit
the question is the price.
you already decide imported or local production.
in Poland, I suppose, strawberries picked by foreign hands are still called Polish.
аватар kolyan_cat
The question is not in quality but in "local flavor". If we talk about what to bring "as a keepsake", then the local in Dubai is 0%. Nobody will carry furniture. And souvenirs - at best, China, at worst - made "on the knee" by Indians for gringos who think that they are buying "local exotics".

Fine! Thanks for answers! About Chinese production in the know! The desire to bring not local as a keepsake, but as a memory of the trip. As for a crystal or just an original chandelier, we also think. In principle, something interesting should not be locally produced (I understand that even imported fruits are there), but somehow remind you of the trip. Therefore, she asked. Suddenly, someone brought something interesting besides fur coats and gold)

At the same time, please tell me, is it profitable to change money at the airport and is it necessary, do they charge a commission (Maktoum Airport)? Can I pay the tourist tax in dollars? Do bus stops sell passes? If not, are they sold at all metro stations? And how to make the first trip on the bus if there is no travel card (we still have silver cards, but it is not known if they are valid)?
аватар Ptuhina
You can pay the tourist tax in dollars, we paid, there were no problems. I don’t advise you to change dollars at the airport, exchangers are better 1 $ -3.65 dirhams the most favorable rate. Travel cards are sold in the metro, and replenished there. I recommend the silver card, for tourists it is the most profitable. 25 dirham stands on it 19.

buy bakhoor with bahurnitsa)
you can also make a small picture from calligraphy - they will "draw" whatever you want in Arabic in front of you. looks decent
in the Gallery-1 chain stores calligraphy paintings
аватар Anetka-gan
at almaktoum airport there is an RTA counter and you can buy a travel card there
for currency exchange fixed fee - 2 aed
аватар Anetka-gan
kolyan_cat the girl is interested in the chandelier, this applies to furniture in part)))
аватар ilika15
Thank you, Anetka-gan. I have been using your advice for eight years. Everything is on point! What is bahur?
аватар klichko
It is interesting, but who found in Dubai completely branded items, fur coats, equipment, cosmetics and even Italian gold. In the 90s, the original was handed out literally for nothing at a loss. Over time, they grew, turned brown, grew ugly, because the goal was achieved. Long gone are the days of quality goods, completely surrogate scam at bad prices
аватар Anetka-gan
ilika15 oh well don't embarrass me) I'm still the same ulcer
Bahur is a type of wood impregnated with oils. it is laid on a bahurnitsa (something like for coal) and set on fire. the fragrance spreads everywhere.
tourists love it. I myself, as a tourist, was crazy. but living here - already sick of him)))))))) I want the smell of lavender)))
in general, there are shops in tourist places, but in Deira it is cheaper. I can find one store for me, my dentist from Ukraine asked tearfully to bring from there, he says very good.
аватар Anetka-gan
klichko there is a quality product (shmote) but again it is italy france, expensive brands.
Prices are no longer attractive.
BUT, I was faced with the fact that it is cheaper for me to buy a lot in the UAE than in Ukraine. sportswear, sports nutrition, underwear. especially if it's on sale. Well, you need to know the places.
Luxury brands have risen in price as tax, that's one, and the whole Middle East buys anyway, that's two.
