For those who wish to get a feel of China in Dubai, the best place to head to is the Dubai Dragon Mart. It is the biggest trading centre for Chinese products away from the Chinese main land.
The Dubai Dragon Mart opened on December 7th 2004 and since then it has been able to attract a large number of visitors. Positioned adjacent to the International City China Court, Dragon Mart occupies a superb location in the Al Warsan area. The main feature of this exceptional shopping precinct is that it is shaped in a long Dragon structure.
Travellers from all across the world visit this impressive 1.2 kilometre long shopping centre in order to enjoy a different shopping experience. Those who visit this shopping hub will be able to browse through an enormous range of varied and affordable Chinese Products. The extensive product line includes anything from Chinese textiles, electric appliances, food, furnishings, accessories, sport related products and so much more.
The Dubai Dragon Mart houses more than 4000 enterprises involved in trading Chinese products. There are also numerous restaurants and many other showrooms. Dragon Mart is segregated in to a few main areas such as the business centre, office area, commercial area and service area.
Occupying an area of about 150,000 square meters, this superb shopping hub is the first structure built within the Nakheel’s International City project. Plans are underway to develop a new residential complex right next to the Mart. The ground floor of the complex has been designed to have a shopping centre.
To enjoy a complete Chinese shopping experience outside of China, travellers can stay at a Dubai hotel and visit the nearby Dubai Dragon Mart. An ideal accommodation choice for both business and leisure travellers is the Raffles Dubai which is a high end luxury hotel in Dubai.
