The Rise of Digital Souks: E-Commerce with an Emirati Twist

I’ll be honest—my first online shopping experience in Dubai felt nothing like Amazon.

You never click “Add to Cart” and then stare at your screen like, “Wait… why did I just do that?” Yeah, me too. And if you live in the UAE, you’re probably doing it more often than you think. Not because you can’t resist a good sale (though, let’s be honest, who can say no […]
