Avoid the mall: Try one-stop artisan shopping at Urban Market
S
ure, you could hit up Dubai Mall to get your shopping all in one place, but where’s the fun in that? Avoid the rut by hitting up The Urban Market at Media One Hotel, where you can pick up interesting gifts (for friends or yourself ) made by actual humans and not corporate factories. (Meaning, you’ll feel good about yourself and be thoughtful at the same time). The fact that you’ll get discount, off food and drink in Media One is simply a bonus. 58_What’s On
