Dragon Mart , a Market place for Chinese goods , in Dubai International City is located on the outskirts of Dubai - on Dubai-Oman road.
The wide range of Chinese goods on sale at this huge Market Place is simply mind blowing . The best part is that you can bargain for prices - a handbag that my wife particularly liked - was finally bought @ 200 Dhs as against 300 Dhs originally quoted . That apart , unlike most Malls, there are plenty of benches and seating places provided thoughtfully throughout the Mart that allow you to rest your tired legs for a while .
And at the end of the visit, or halfway through it , you can satisfy your taste buds with a delicious vegetarian pizza and Zataar - a very popular middle eastern spice loaded dish - downed with fresh sugarcane juice, at the lively El Hammis Cafe . The taste will linger for sometime after you have finished your meal :)
And while departing, you could nibble at some sliced pieces of Thai mango , buying them from one of the fruit juice vendors . They are really tangy , quite unlike the sweet mangoes that we get back home .
Advisory: As the Dragon Mall is at quite a distance from downtown Dubai, visitors to Dubai must go there only if they have sufficient time on their hands, and a private vehicle . Public buses take a lot of time to get there , and taxies are frightfully expensive .Rashidiya on the Green Line, is the closest Metro Station , 8 kms away .
