Nine online shopping sites in the UAE you need to know about
From bow ties for your pooch to groceries delivered to your door, order everything you need this summer from the comfort of your couch…
If trawling the mall for endless hours isn’t your thing, there’s plenty of online shops and boutiques that now cater to your every need in Dubai. Whether it’s luxury goods for your feline friend, or getting your hands on the latest styles before anyone else, there’s an online shop just a click away.
Here are nine online shopping sites you need to know about.
For the weekly grocery shop
Kibsons

Kibsons is a leading home delivery service, offering fresh, healthy products straight to your door. They sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy, bread, nuts, drinks and everything else you’d need for a week of food prep at wholesale prices – so it’s often a lot more reasonable than a weekly shop at the supermarket.
NRTC Fresh

For the freshest home delivery of fruit and vegetables, head to NRTC Fresh. They offer free delivery all over Dubai, and will bring your groceries same-day if you order before 2pm. They also do pre-packed boxes for singles, couples and families, which are filled with all you’ll need for a week of meals.
For the tech savvy
Gadget By

Whether it’s a camera, smartphone or something techy for the home, gadgetby.com will sell it. Their range of products covers all the basics, but also features some more obscure tech products (just in case you were in the market for a segway). Best of all, they aim to deliver within three to five hours from order date in Dubai. Because who wants to be without their robot hoover for more than five hours?
For the fashion conscious
Namshi

Kind of like the ASOS of the Middle East, whether it’s high street or designer, apparel or accessories, or bits for guys or girls, Namshi is the go-to site for all of your fashion needs. It stocks both Middle Eastern and international brands, as well as UK favourites such as Topshop, Missguided and New Look. There’s also dedicated childrens, homewares and beauty sections.
Beach City

All pieces are made using saffiano leathers and can be personalised with between two and five letters, with the option of either regular or gold embossing.
For the pampered pooch
