Shopping In Abu Dhabi
A perfect trip to Abu Dhabi is not completed without a shopping experience. There're so many great places for you to buy yourself a piece of Abu Dhabi before leaving this city since this place is a brilliant blend of Souks - traditional markets and Shopping malls. These are some of the best places for shopping in Abu Dhabi:
My City Centre Masdar
Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s Masdar City, My City Centre Masdar is the community’s location of choice for convenience shopping, dining, and leisure. Encompassing over 18,000 square meters, it brings a variety of the most sought-after international and local retail stores and varied dining options for visitors to enjoy.
Deerfields Mall
A 15-minute drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport and the idyllic coastal Al Muneera and Al Raha Beach communities, this sprawling mall boasts a collection of 200 stores over five floors, al-fresco dining areas showcasing bustling international and regional restaurants and cafés, and upbeat entertainment venues.
Souq Al Qattara
Souq Al Qattara is situated in a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi’s green garden city and heritage heartland about 90 minutes from the capital city. A traditional handicrafts market takes place here every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from October to May, encouraging local families to preserve and promote Abu Dhabi’s heritage through the active production of traditional handicrafts.
Mina Market
This market is located near Abu Dhabi’s main port area and is one of the biggest markets in the city. There's Fish Souk where fishermen here load their catch onto the quayside and prepare for a day of haggling every morning. Across the road from the Fish Souk, the Al Mina Fruit and Vegetable Souk is bursting with color as sellers arrange fresh, gleaming produce outside shop doors. Yemeni mattresses and machine-made carpets dominate Abu Dhabi’s nearby Carpet Souk, located on Mina Road. Some of the sellers will make up Arabic-style cushions that are traditionally housed in a majlis (a sitting place to host guests) for a very reasonable price; the perfect memento from your trip to the city.
