Outlet Village: The Brand new Shopping Destination in Dubai

If you are looking for high-end brands but wanted to pay cheaper, then it is time for you to try shopping at Outlet Village in Dubai.  If you are familiar with Outlet Mall, where it seems that all the shops are having a year long sale, then Outlet Village is just another shopping destination just for you.

What separates Outlet Village from Outlet Mall is its unique building design. The Outlet Village architecture drew its inspiration from San Gimignano, a hilltop town in Tuscan countryside and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.  The interiors were well lighted with woods and bricks were used to cover the walls. If not for the shops inside the mall, I would have felt that I was in another country while walking the whole strecth of the mall.  

I spoke to two Kabayan salesperson and they said that the prices of the goods in the Outlet Village are similar to the prices of goods in Outlet Mall. Meaning if you are on tight budget but wanted to get a pair of branded shoes or branded bags then can try to check Outlet Mall and you may get 30-50% off on the regular price.

I don’t keep track of the prices by the way and I am a bad shopper. But if a Michael Kors bag original price of 1,810.00 aed is being sold at 909.00 aed, then that is already a good bargain for branded leather bag right?! Other famous brand also includes Armani Exchange, Diesel, Coach, Boss, Calvin Klein etc.

Outlet Village is located adjacent to Dubai Parks and Resorts just opposite Jebel Ali port, close to Maktoum airport and near to the Abu Dhabi Border. Outlet Village sits next to several tourist attractions due to open in October of 2016.

Outlet Village is a project of Meraas Holding. Merass Holding is also the developer of City Walk and Box park and the The Last Exit.
