Well there is no shortage of places to shop in this town! It seems that you can't go 2 miles without seeing a mall. They are further apart than that but there are a lot of malls. Let's see we have been to the Delma Mall, Mushrif Mall, and Khalydia Mall.......then today I went to the Al Wahda Mall. All of these malls are in Abu Dhabi. I still have not gone to the Abu Dhabi Mall, Marina Mall, Al Maria Mall, or Al Raha Mall. Then there are the three malls that are currently under construction...Capital Mall, Yas Mall, and Deerfield Mall. So let's get a total count of all the malls both in service and not in service.....That would be 11 malls! WOW! Every mall has a grocery store...either a LuLu's or a Carrefour. Every mall has a large food court plus several major franchise restaurants. Just about every mall has a movie theater and a kids play place called Sparky's or Kiddy Zone. The Sparky's has a couple of small roller coasters, bowling alley, arcade games, climbing playing equipment, and pool tables in them. It just blows my mind at all of the things that are available here. All you have to do is look around, and you will see the perfect example of exuberant spending and consumption!
There are stores of every kind...stores I recognize and stores I don't. Every store looks expensive. They may not be extremely pricey but because of how the store is staged and presented, it has the appearance of being expensive.
These two pictures are nice displays but you should see the jewelry stores and stores of Swarovski Crystal.... bling bling baaaazing! They will blind you !!! I haven't stepped foot in any of these stores... I have primarily gone to the malls for restaurants and groceries! Eventually I will have to check out a few of the clothing stores! Today I was treated to eating at Olive Garden! Oh it was yummy! I told Clint where we ate and he was surprised because he didn't know that there was an Olive Garden in Abu Dhabi.... And guess what... directly across the hall from the Olive Garden is a Red Lobster! I will have to check it out and see if they have the Cheddar Bay Biscuits that we all love!!!
