Abu Dhabi is the perfect shopping destination for you by all means, and its new and all-inclusive shopping malls are sure to delight you with their offerings when you go. It's not just about the modern shopping malls there, but also about the traditional souks that have been there for thousands of years. 

Souks 

If you are wondering what shopping experience to hit first during your stay at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara which is considered one of the best of all 5-star hotels in Abu Dhabi, the advice would be to start off with the traditional. Head to Al Mina Fruit and Vegetable Souk to explore a local shopping experience, and since there is also a fish souk located very close by, you may visit that too. Also, explore the Al Ain Souk (Old Souk as per what the locals say) to shop for almost everything you want. There are also some other souks such as the Carpet Souk (for carpets and rugs), Souk Al Bawadi (for gifts), and Souk Al Zafarana (a contemporary marketplace with everything) where your bargaining skills can take you a long way. If you are looking for gold, you should explore the Madinat Zayed Shopping & Gold Centre in the city.
