Tourism is an important part of the Dubai
government's strategy to maintain the flow of foreign cash into the emirate.
Dubai's lure for tourists is based mainly on shopping, but also on its
possession of other ancient and modern attractions. As of 2007, Dubai was
the 8th most visited city of the world. Dubai is expected to accommodate
over 15 million tourists by 2015.Dubai is the most populous emirate of the
seven emirates of United Arab Emirates. It is distinct from other members of
the UAE in that a large part of the emirate's revenues are from tourism
Dubai has been called the "shopping capital of the Middle East".Dubai alone
has more than 70 shopping malls, including the world's 7th largest shopping
mall, Dubai Mall. The city draws large numbers of shopping tourists from
countries within the region and from as far as Eastern Europe, Africa and
the Indian Subcontinent. While boutiques, some electronics shops, department
stores and supermarkets operate on a fixed-price basis, most other outlets
consider friendly negotiation a way of life.
Dubai is also known for its souk districts located on either side of the
creek. Traditionally, dhows from the Far East, China, Sri Lanka, and India
would discharge their cargo and the goods would be bargained over in the
souks adjacent to the docks. Many boutiques and jewellery stores are also
found in the city. Dubai is known as "the City of Gold" and Gold Souk in
Deira houses nearly 250 gold retail shops.Dubai Duty Free at the Dubai
International Airport offers merchandise catering to the multinational
