When you have no energy for the mall.
Fed up of parking in the Dubai Mall, or simply can’t deal with the crowds at Mall of the Emirates? Why hustle when you can undergo some much-needed retail therapy at home.
E-commerce in the Middle East is growing with the likes of Amazon and Zara now delivering in the region. Convenience is the new luxury with online destinations such as Ounass offering delivery in just two hours for those living in Dubai, making you wonder why you would ever choose to spend hours at the mall?
Of course online experience doesn’t match up to the personal attention at the boutique, and you do have to wait up to a week or more for some stores to deliver (especially if you’re shopping straight from the runway at Moda Operandi) but nothing beats the frill of when that carefully packaged box lands on your doorstep.
Below, our editors have handpicked some of their top online shopping destinations that deliver to the UAE.
