Hi there

We are leaving Dubai soon and I would like to buy a few things that remind me of Dubai and how we have enjoyed our time here. Is there anything that you recommend? Maybe a piece of furniture or jewellery? Art/photography by a particular artist/photographer? I would love some ideas!

Many thanks!

Green-ish replied : The one thing I didn't buy and really wish I had is a gorgeous oud burner. If the budget had stretched, I also would have liked an Arabic lantern/light. I'm new to Dubai and have noticed the beautiful Arabic lanterns/lights already and would love to know where to buy them as well. Anybody? There is a store in Dubai Mall, downstairs near the giant candy store and aquarium somewhere, that sells GORGEOUS lights. Most likely at ridiculous prices. I loved window shopping there but never ventured in to check price tags.

Great ideas thanks Green-ish. Do you know where the best place to buy decent quality ones? Sadly no...since I never got to go shopping for them. Some things I did buy and now treasure are an Arabic style coffee pot, a brass camel, some watercolour prints, and my beloved Sheikh & Sheikha salt and pepper shakers. :D All look totally corny and horrid in Dubai, but now that I have them home here in Aus, they are lovely little reminders of my life there. The S&P shakers give me a good giggle and remind me of a fun night on and around The Creek. :D
