Camel Company
If you can slap a camel on it, Camel Company has it. This hands-down best spot for camel souvenirs carries plush stuffed camels that sing when you squeeze them, camels in Hawaiian shirts, on T-shirts, coffee cups, mouse-pads, notebooks, greeting cards and of course fridge magnets. The store is owned by the Austrian Sabine Moser, author of the book series Camel-O-Shy.

2000 Horizon Antiques
These guys offer the best prices in Karama Shopping Centre – and that’s before you even start bargaining. The selection may be small, but you’ll still find enough Orientalia to recreate the Arabian look at home. The friendly no-nonsense service is a welcome respite from the irritating spruikers outside.

Al-Jaber Gallery
Look past the tacky souvenirs to find some quality handicrafts, including colourfully embroidered Indian tapestries spangled with beads and cool hand-of-Fatima mirrors. If you’re intrigued by the idea of henna tattoos, pick up a starter kit here and design your own.

International Alladin Shoes
Every souvenir shop in Dubai sells colourful sequined slippers and gold-threaded curly-toed shoes from Pakistan and Afghanistan, but Alladin was the first and still has the best quality, selection and prices. The teeny-tiny slippers are a hit at baby showers.

Gift World
Imagine yourself in Aladdin’s Cave as you bump your head on the hanging Moroccan and Syrian lamps while rummaging through Oriental bric-a-brac, ranging from Bedouin jewellery and beads to sequined bedspreads and dizzyingly patterned camel cushion covers.
