The one thing Dubai is known for is its shopping malls – the fact that it’s home to one of the world’s largest shopping malls pretty much says it all.
Having lived in Dubai long enough now, we’d like to think we’ve seen it all – long queues in the trial rooms, pushy sales staff, line cutters, screaming kids running all over place – already nodding your head? We’re only getting started….

The Snatchers
Ah, what would shopping be without some friendly competition over who gets to keep the last pair of Steve Madden on sale?! Now, you see it. Now you don’t. But, once you have it, RUN!
The Splurgers
Price tag? What’s that, honey?! With all the money in the world, these women are the sort who make a beeline to the most expensive pair of clothing in the whole shop – without even stopping to give it a second thought. That's right, TREAT YO' SELF!
The Complainers
Never satisfied with anything – it’s like these women already have a long list of complaints ready as they enter the shop. Whether it’s an item they’re trying to return after a whole month of using it, or that the lights in the changing room makes them look fat, they are any sales associate’s worse nightmare.
The Moms
More like super moms…who try their level best to juggle shopping and controlling a small, unruly child at the same time. To these women, we say, “hang in there, girl! You’re doing the best you can!”
The Tag Team
Bffs. Besties. Shopping mates. Whatever they are, they’ve got each other’s back the whole time. You can tell just by the way they talk to each other in the fitting room – “no, YOU’re slaying it in that dress!” – “no, YOU are!” – “no, YOU!”
The Doubters
The sort who take forever to decide whether they want to keep that coral dress. They’ll probably try it on, keep it back, only to try it on once again. Come on Karen, if you’re not going to take it, then make way for someone who will!
The Judgers
You can tell just by the way they look at you as you reach for that low cut dress. Okay, Miss Judgy Judgerson, if we wanted your opinion on what’ll look good on us, we’d simply ask. Enough with the death stares already.
