For most women (and a handful of men) the answer would be yes!

There are a lot of cities around the world that have been shopping hubs for tourists over the years, Dubai being one of them. Dubai annually hosts the extravagant Dubai Shopping Festival. Dubai Shopping Festival is well known for tons of reasons. The event goes way back to 1996, when His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, intended to introduce a world-class retail event that would draw people from various parts of the world to UAE. Well, the rest is history.
