Dubai’s Ikea
Posted by admin on June 29th, 2009 filed in Business, Society, Travel
There is no question that, when looking for the perfect lodging, Dubai gives every other world city a run for the money. With its long tradition of hospitality and graciousness, there is something unspeakably pleasant about the stays here. Dubai is a fantastic city, with something to offer for everyone. The hotels are a reflection of the place, with a splendid mixture of old-world charm and absolutely modern amenities. Guests here will be treated to a sense of luxury that is rarely experienced. One can be completely connected to their lives outside of Dubai, or completely free of day-to-day responsibilities. The beaches are lovely, and the shopping is another world altogether.
In Festival City, with some of the most modern shopping experiences anywhere, there is a terrific Ikea, which is always bustling with human energy. Ikea first came to Dubai to Zaabeel Road with a showroom in 1991. In 1995 it had a store at Deira City Centre. This store closed in 2005, so that the current store in Festival City could open. This store is four times the size of the one at Deira City Centre. There is a definite trend toward making things bigger than before in Dubai, and with a population increase of around 10 times what it was just three decades ago, bigger is certainly a good idea, as the population supports it.
There are interesting UAE touches to the Dubai Ikea, where local businesses are involved in making it run smoothly. The local Bosch Security teamed up with Al Ghandi Electronics to install the store’s loudspeaker system. And there are 50 foot preserved date palm trees planted in the Dubai Ikea, giving it a certain local flavor and charm. Sweden meets the UAE, and offers its usual affordable style to furnish the world’s living room.
