Deira City Centre, located near to the waterfront in Deira is one of Dubai�s and my own favourites. A mall with atmosphere, especially on weekends Deira City Centre has a buzzing shopping vibe that makes it a really fun place to shop.

The mall is spread over three floors, with over 350 stores. You will find fashion (all the big names), electronics, entertainment in �Magic Planet� or the 11 screen cinema �Cinestar�, a huge supermarket, a total of 40 different restaurants and cafes, 33 jewellery stores and textiles, such as silks and cashmere. The whole of the mall has Wi-Fi, so you can work and play at the same time.

What I like most about Deira City Centre is the friendly service of the actual mall staff and the way the mall treats its customers. One friendly guy whilst we were studying the map trying to locate the food mall came and pointed it out and gave us a free bottle of water. Then whilst we were waiting for the taxis at the end of our trip, a couple of staff came round with a trolley full of water for all those in the queue. It�s those little touches. There are also free hotel shuttle buses running to 11 different hotels around Deira.
