3. Della: the shopping area around the museum

The Gold Market, the Gold Street in Dubai.

Dubai was once known as the "City of Gold", and so was the local gold.

Because the price of gold is lower than that of neighboring countries in the Middle East, there is a large outflow. Even people who don't buy jewelry,

I suggest that we also broaden our horizons. All kinds of exaggerated jewelry and gold ornaments can only be seen in the king and queen in the movie. Most gold ornaments are not so-called pure gold, often around 22 K. Relatively speaking, it is easy to feel cheaper. However, the local government has strict requirements, and shops should honestly indicate the color and weight.

If someone is accused of dishonesty, in Muslim countries, punishment is no joke. But because this is a traditional market,

You still have to kill a small price to buy it.

4. Shopping center

Shopping: It is generally felt that Dubai is a better shopping paradise than Hong Kong. Not only are things cheap here, but the quality is guaranteed, there are absolutely no fakes, and the shopping environment is not as crowded as Hong Kong. Dubai City Center, Bur Juman Centre, Wafi City and other large shopping malls have all kinds of world-famous goods, which are 30% to 40% cheaper than domestic ones. You can stroll around the first floor for four or five hours and bargain. The UAE shopping center is close to the city center. From the Bell Tower to mall of the emirates, the taxi fare is only 10 dirhams. It takes 16 dirhams to get to BurJuman Shopping Center; It takes 15~20 dirhams to get to Wafi Shopping Center. The above three shopping centers are the top luxury shopping places in Dubai. Before boarding the plane, you have to go through the duty-free zone of Dubai International Airport. There are much more goods here than the duty-free zone of Hong Kong Airport, and the prices are much cheaper. You can buy good and cheap things to take home.

3. Burj Dubai, also known as Burj Khalifa, Dubai.

Dubai is rich in oil. But for an ambitious new city, if you want to show your talents in the new century, oil is definitely not all. It opened the door and vigorously developed tourism. Due to its high-quality environment and rich culture (because 80% of the population are foreigners), most tourists to Dubai are high-income classes such as models, artists and businessmen. At the suggestion of the Crown Prince of Dubai, Allermark-Maktoum, a well-known entrepreneur, invested in the beautiful Burj Al-Ara Hotel. The luxury is amazing. Critics don't know how many stars to give it: five, six or seven.

Built on an artificial island by the sea, the hotel is a sailboat-shaped tower building with 56 floors and a height of 32 1 m, designed by British designer W.S.Atkins. It is far from Jumeirah Beach Hotel (considered as the best hotel in the world), with 202 duplex rooms, a 200-meter-high restaurant overlooking the whole city of Dubai and the highest atrium in the world. Only after you have been here can you truly realize what "glory" means. Its atrium is golden, and so is the most luxurious 780-square-meter presidential suite. The room area ranges from 170 square meters to 780 square meters, with the lowest room price of $900 and the highest presidential suite of 18000. The presidential suite is on the 25th floor, with gold-plated furniture, a cinema, two bedrooms, two living rooms and a dining room with a dedicated elevator. Versace, the late top fashion designer, once praised it.

Every January and February is winter in Dubai (it is said that it is about 30 degrees), and it is also the busiest shopping season every year. Every shopping center is sending famous cars one after another. Rich people from all over the world gathered in Dubai to avoid the cold and shop. At this point, the hotel quotes. The prices of sailing hotels found online before are as follows:

1-2 person standard suite $65438 +0594 per night.

1-2-person panoramic suite $65438 +0739 per night.

Standard suite with two beds is $365438 +088 yuan per night.

As for Dubai's summer from mid-June to mid-September, it is not unusual for it to be 55 degrees Celsius when it is hot.

Imagine how much 40 degrees is hotter than 25 degrees, and you can probably guess how much 55 degrees is hotter than 40 degrees.

But unless you are a madman like me who rents a car and drives to the suburban desert, in fact, almost all of them are.

Stay in an extremely cold air-conditioned room for vacation. The house price is the cheapest at this time.

It is also the price of the sailing hotel used this time:

/kloc-a standard suite of 0/-2 people costs $869.57 per night.

1-2 panoramic suite $65438 per night +00 14.49.

Standard suite with two beds 19.38+03 USD per night.

As for housing prices at other times, they are naturally in the middle.

1-2 person standard suite $65438 +0333 per night.

1-Panoramic Suite for 2 persons $65438 +0478 per night.

A standard suite with two beds costs $2,666 per night.

If you want to include two buffet breakfasts, it will cost nearly NT$ 5,000.

Ps: At that time, there was a rule. Anyone who takes part in the tour has to pay, and he has to wear a suit ..... except the guests, of course.
