The City of Fashionable Department Stores

• First Saks, then Harvey Nichols, then Barneys, and now guess who's next in line? UK’s premier department store: Selfridges. Dubai's Emaar Malls is in talks to bring Selfridges to Dubai as one of the anchors of Dubai Mall (source). I'm so glad that Dubai is only 2 hours way. I heart Dubai.
  
  
• And that's not all, the famous French retailer Galeries Lafayette signed in March 2007 for 18,000sqm store as Dubai Mall’s other department store anchor. So why travel 6 to 12 hours to shop Paris, London, and New York when you can do it all under one roof in Dubai.(source).
