Dubai has made it to the list of top shopping destinations around the world, with many top retailers who have opened shop in the emirate.

Dubai’s number 4 ranking on the list—boasting 45.68% of top retailers— is an indication that demand in the Middle East continues to grow. US department store Bloomingdales, part of Macy’s, is slated to open next year. Along with a consumer demand for more brand names, the numerous malls and shopping centres being built within Dubai make it easier for retailers to acquire prime real estate at a reasonable price. In the UK, the High Street—or the main road in a neighbourhood—is shopping paradise. In London, there are more High Streets than one can count, so it’s no surprise it hosts more than half of the world’s top retailers. Retailers like Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Uniqlo and Urban Outfitters have often used London as a launch pad for foreign expansion.
