Global Village, Dubai

Had this recommended to us and what a delight. Kind of a modern day souk/market with whole areas representing different countries. Plenty of eateries, some free entertainment and dozens or market-type sellers offering trinkets, clothing, honey, spices, gold and expensive jewellery, electronics, you name it.
We were very much in the minority as caucasians with almost everyone from somewhere in Arabia...may have quite possibly been the only non-Muslims there. We've found all Muslims we have interacted with as some of the most polite, respectful and friendly people anywhere.Læs mere
