Saudi Arabia has giant malls housing designer stores all over the country. Giant towers are full of beautiful designer items, luxury restaurants, businesses, salons, and more. Shopping here really is a unique experience but I cant help but ask myself, “Is designer really better?”
Not saying I don’t love designer items from time to time, but my favorite places to shop are the small stores, crammed full of goods. They aren’t posh and you’d never find them in fancy shopping centers; however, they have a lot of charm and character, which goes a long way. Not only will you find unique, color, offbeat items, you will also save a ton. Not only are these stores cheap, most prices are open for negotiation. Is it better than shopping designer brands? Maybe, maybe not, I don’t know. All I know is I personally love these quirky little stores.
