Unlike Dubai, shopping malls are thin on the ground in the capital. However, the few Abu Dhabi does have are an impressive haven for Western high-street brand-name lovers. The four-storey Abu Dhabi Mall (Tourist Club Area, +9712645485, www.abudabi-mall.com) houses everything from The Body Shop and Benetton to Mango and Mothercare, while the similar-sized Marina Mall (Corniche Road, +97126818300, www.marinamall.ae) has a huge IKEA and Zara. Marks & Spencer has an impressive outlet in Fotouh Al Khair Centre (Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum St, +97126211133). Souvenir seekers who want a more traditional Arabian artefact should head to the Khalifa Centre (Tourist Club Area, +97126679900).
