Dragon Mart Dubai

Inside Dragon Mart



Heading down the highway...

 No visit to Dubai should go without a visit to the Famous Dragon Mart. This shopping centre houses 100's of traders predominately from Asian who sell a wide variety of wares. We walked in from the carpark into the lighting area. The variety and relative cheapness of the light fittings has to be seen to believed.  In the clothing line there is many Arab wear shops as well as Lingere and for Children myriads of Sponge Bob Square pants clothing. There are row upon row of shops selling bags and cases. Shoes also featured well. Su was able to find a few traders that sold beads so she was made up adding to her collection. I did not find much in the way of electronic gadgetry but to be truthful I doubt we covered less than a third of the place. I had also been warned that the electronic gadgetry was a  bit suspect from Dragon Mart. 

Earlier in the morning Katrina took us for a drive down to Jumeirah where the Burj Al Arab is. I took a few photos and Su paddled in the Persian Gulf waters there. The drive to Jumeirah then onto where Dragon mart took us along a 12 lane highway that literally is built in the dessert. Once again I kick myself for not havinmg shares in a concrete plant. With the freeway, Metro Rail and the continous building going on concrete seemsto be  in high demand. The futuristic looking rail stations remind me of giant armidellos. Katrina needed to fill her car today and she handed over 50 DHS and with fuel at 1.72 DHS (43 cents Aust) there is no need to advertise the price of petrol and for 1.72 DHS  a litre that includes full friveway assistance. It got up to 38 degrees today and you can easily see why the bus stops are fully air conditioned, another interesting site as you drive along.

Fuel so Cheap!
