  • DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

However, beneath the glossy visage of the city lies a foundation of pervasive human rights violations; primarily slavery. Slavery presents itself primarily in the construction industry, enabled by the exploitation of immigrant construction workers. Additionally, many of the wealthy elite manipulate immigration processes in order to keep immigrant women as their personal domestic servants, subjecting them to a life of indentured servitude and slavery.
