Top 10 Online Stores In The UAE And The Whole Of MENA
Best Shopping Alternatives
If you are in Dubai or anywhere in the UAE or MENA, and do not have the luxury of time to visit the gigantic Dubai malls or any malls in your area for that matter, the top 10 online stores based in the UAE and anywhere in MENA are here for you to choose.
Major online stores that are mostly based in the US still have their presence in this side of the world but if you’ll consider delivery time, consider local. The locally based or MENA based online stores are the best option to save time.
The following are the 10 most visible stores everywhere in the region. Visible in a sense that these are the names and brands that are mostly seen and liked by many in social networks, billboards & signboards and also these are the talk-of-the-town stores. These are online stores that do not have physical stores and are only focused in online marketing and sales.
They have different line of products or items being sold. By clicking the logo, a new window will pop up and redirect you to its home page.
Presenting, the Top 10 Online Stores In The UAE And The Whole Of MENA (in no particular order):
aido.com – more on electronics
ALshop.com – more on electronics
desado.com – more on fashion
JadoPado.com – more on electronics
LeMuda.com – more on fashion
MarkAVIP.com – more on fashion
Namshi.com – more on fashion
Souq.com – more on electronics
Sukar.com – more on fashion
Wysada.com – more on home essentials
One of the best reasons why locally based or MENA based online stores are preferred by many is the common feature that these top online stores have, the “cash on delivery” payment scheme. This is an added advantage to both parties basically. With cash on delivery payment option, for customers’ end, it gives security that you’ll only pay upon seeing or receiving the ordered product. For online stores’ end, the payment processing is right there upon making the delivery, no more long bank processing compared to credit/debit cards or PayPal payments. And of course, the transaction period is a bit shorter compared to other major online stores such as eBay, Amazon etc that will usually make you wait for a longer time.
If there’s still more region based online stores which you think need to be added in the line up top online stores in the UAE and the whole of MENA, please leave it as comments below.
Cheers!
Nice, but there’s a lot more to be added. Check Meefind.com’s footer having quite a few. Rgds 🙂
Hi Faissal, I have checked meefind’s footer but I think most of them are not focusing online sales. Like carrefour that has physical stores all over Dubai. I’d rather not include them. The above list of stores are only online. 🙂
But I do hope, especially for start-up online stores, will improve their presence and visibility through marketing and then compete well, for the benefit of us all customers. More online stores, mean more choices. 🙂 One online store though which I think starting to make noise is SpendWisor.com 🙂
Thanks for dropping by Faissal.
I’ve visit all Dubai Shopping sites, http://www.aido.com is very nice site for online shopping, it’s offering many Electronic products at best price.
I so agree Zahra! 🙂 Cheers!
how is the delivery time if ordered from alshop.com?
they have really crazy prices for the perfumes and when asked if they are genuine or not, they mentioned that instead of spending heavily on marketing – billboards and paper media, its better to provide the consumers on discounts and shoulder the rest.
So basically, customers get good price and at the same time, they get marketing done.
Looks reasonable enough when they said that.
Now worried how long do they take to deliver so that i am prepared for any worst situations
Several orders I made from alshop and deliveries were on time. 🙂
Cheers jess!
