Al Satwa

Sandwiched between Jumeirah and Bur Dubai, this little residential strip offers an intriguing shopping experience. Home to a dense concentration of South Asians, Al Satwa is perhaps your best bet if you're looking to shop at bargain prices. Textiles are a specialty of the area and it's possible to get a tailored outfit at fairly low prices. Besides this, the area is also famous for producing designer wear replicas; good for fashionistas who aren't bothered about flaunting a brand. A good number of inexpensive restaurants and cafes dotting the area offer something for everyone. Al Satwa's central location means that you're never too far away from the action, whether you wish to hit the Jumeirah Beach or go for some high-end shopping at The Dubai Mall.
