    Dubai shopping guide 

    Shopping in Dubai often does not feel like shopping at all. The sprawling malls are so huge and so elaborately designed that often they can feel like a separate city in themselves. As well as all the stores you could possibly imagine, the malls also have restaurants and cafés which draw both shoppers and Dubai residents meeting with friends. Children are well looked after, with play centres for all ages at all of the major malls. There is everything from soft play areas for toddlers to themed thrill rides for teenagers. Amazing aquariums, stunning ski slopes and vast entertainment venues make a trip to the mall more than a shopping expedition.

    Beau to bespoke: the genesis of a gentleman’s suit 

    The roots of today’s Western business suit can be traced back 200 years to London. Now, the traditions and expertise of that city’s Savile Row are available in Dubai for discerning dressers
    Does it take you five hours to get dressed, or do you insist on cleaning your footwear with fine Champagne? If the answer to both is a resounding ‘no’, but you do wear a business suit, at least you have one thing in common with the godfather of modern garb, Mr Beau Brummell.
