The Outlet Village
We travel for many reasons. It could be the sheer joy of visiting new places, variants in the styling of architecture, shopping options, different types of cuisine etc. What if you can get all these at one destination? A concrete jungle wired with the latest technological gadgets, trendy designs in the elevators or escalators, LED lights must be lighting up your mind now. All this is not new to anyone in the Middle East now. What if you get to visit traditional country side Italy right here in Dubai? The Outlet Village in Jebel Ali is all this and more. This bare bricked intricately designed village reminds one of Gothic work and looks sculpted out from a fairy tale.
For all of us who are tired of virtual shopping where everything is just a click away we could use some quality time to experience some real shopping in a retro era. This place is technologically barred. No blaring advertisements, hoardings or even lifts or escalators. You have to walk this one through mate! This walk will definitely prove to be pleasing to the eye as you get to see fountains, wishing wells, flower pots and even a live tree inside the mall. The wallpapers with hills, the glass top which provides direct sunlight to illuminate the walkway will all make you feel like walking through the streets of Italian downtown.
