A shopper's dream come true beginning with Sharjah's famed Blue Souk, which offers a staggering variety of wares, from curios to carpets, shishas to jewellery, and where bargaining is the name of the game. 

Our next stop, in stark contrast, The Mall of the Emirates, the world's largest mall outside of North America, where a stunning array of international  brands are on offer to suit different budgets and tastes. But this is a mall that's about more than just shopping. You'll also find high quality restaurants, games areas, cinema and the region's first real-snow indoor ski slope, Ski Dubai. 

Our final stop is Dubai's famous Gold Souk, where everything that glitters is definitely gold.
