NEVER Leave Home Again: Top Online Shopping Sites in Dubai

Ever gone to the mall to go shopping only to be disappointed? Yep, I know the feeling. When I was young, I had happy memories of shopping at the mall and finding exactly what I needed. But today, the shopping mall scene just isn’t the same.

It’s like finding the right styles, colors, and sizes has turned into a mission, even after hitting up tons of clothing stores! It’s draining, and not even the good kind where you feel satisfied. So when online shopping boomed, I became one of its biggest fans!

I’ve been shopping for years now and it’s been super convenient. I’ve even made a list of my favorites for those who are just getting comfy with virtual stores. Check out my picks for online shopping sites in Dubai below to get a head start!

Where can you shop online in Dubai?

There are a bunch of sites where you can shop online in Dubai. Check out shopping websites like Sand Dollar Dubai, Oddmuse, Chic Le Frique, The Giving Movement, and Beach City for your next retail therapy session.

Sand Dollar Dubai is a one-stop shop for all things beachwear. It started as a pop-up but now houses many curated, fashionable choices. This includes pieces from Hunza G, Seven Wonders, and Beyond The Beach. 

Here, you can buy some of the best swimsuits, summer dresses, and wedding guest dresses. I also like that there’s a bunch of stuff for the male and kiddie folks too.

But what I like most about this online store is that there’s only 1 to 3-hour delivery in Dubai. You’ll pay AED 40 for same-day deliveries ordered before 4 pm, but it’s free if you’re not in a rush and would happily take a next-day delivery.

If you want to steer clear of fast fashion for a bit, Oddmuse is a London-based shop that aims to make slow fashion more accessible. I think this is amazing since the store has tons of top-notch fabrics and classic pieces worth the investment.

On the website, you can easily categorize by type of clothing or collection. I love that the number of items listed here isn’t too few or too many. In my opinion, it’s just enough to provide ample options while making the clients appreciate the timeless style.

It offers same-day delivery for orders made before 3 pm from Monday to Saturday for AED 30. If you want to save a bit, next-day deliveries cost AED 20. However, the thing about returns here is that you’ll need to fund the cost yourself.

Chic Le Frique

Chic Le Frique is known as a Dubai online shopping platform for its cute kimono dresses, cool women’s blazers, hip “skorts” (a skirt and shorts in one), and more.

If you really want to take part in Dubai’s fashion scene, I think this site’s got a bunch of cosmopolitan designs for you to explore. I also love the comprehensive sizing chart here, which you can easily change from cm to inch.

You can expect a 4-hour delivery for orders worth at least AED 500 between 9 am and 2 pm. Orders placed later qualify for the next day. I also like that refunds bought at full price are accepted, though only within 7 days from the date you bought it.

The Giving Movement

The Giving Movement is an eco-friendly option where you can find tons of comfy yet fashionable pieces for sports, workouts, or everyday use. I love that everything here is sourced locally, including t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, and the like.

I appreciate that there are as many options here for men and kids as there are for women. This store also offers discounts from 25 to 75% now and then.

Same-day delivery here is okay if you order before 4 pm and pay AED 15, except on Sundays. But for each item purchased, this store donates AED 15 to its charity partner, Dubai Cares & Harmony House, so I bet you can think this fee is for a good cause.

Beach City

Chillin’ by the pool and want some effortless outfits that are still eye-catching? Beach City has some chic options that I think you won’t find in the mall. 

For example, I like the elegant monochrome two-piece and one-shoulder one-piece swimsuits, as well as the bright-colored bikini sets. The sizing here also looks wide and varied, which I reckon can cater to more customers.

If you order by 2 pm and are willing to pay AED 30, you can expect your delivery within 4 hours. But if you want to shell out only AED 15, you’ll get the item the next day. I also like that returns are free as long as you follow the 7-day window.

Ounass

Whether it’s a high school reunion, a corporate event, or any other glamorous occasion, Ounass is a fantastic Dubai online shopping site to explore. It boasts over 300 brands, and the top ones include Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino Garavani, and Bottega Veneta.

Besides clothing, shoes, and bags, I like the beauty and jewelry options here as well. I also appreciate the personal shopping service here, where you can talk to its staff to help you get a more personalized experience.

This shop provides a 2-hour delivery in Dubai if you order by 8 pm, which I think is pretty quick compared to the others. There’s an easy return process too, but you need to contact the staff within 10 am to 10 pm so they can respond quickly.

Namshi

Namshi is one of the Middle East’s top fashion stores worth checking out. Some of its top brands are Adidas, Nike, Puma, Forever 21, and Lacoste. I believe this shopping site is for everyone—women, men, older kids, and babies!

Besides summer must-haves, I’m happy with the many options here, like mugs, home fragrances, lunchtime essentials, tech and accessories, and stationery. For me, the whole family can find something pretty cool at this online shop.

This platform offers same-day delivery in Dubai. Although, this only applies to selected items ordered by 4 pm for a fee of AED 18. If you want to return your item, the store’s courier will arrive within 2 days of you notifying its customer service.

Bloomingdales

Bloomingdales is a luxury store with a big selection of international and local brands. Here, you can find lots of clothes for men, women, and kids, as well as beauty products, jewelry, and homewares.

But the highlight for me is that you can sign up and manage your gift registry here if your wedding’s coming soon! This shop also provides same-day delivery and express 2-hour delivery. Just note that this applies to selected items only, and the cut-off is 8 pm. 

As for the costs, 2-hour delivery for orders under AED 499 is AED 50. Alternatively, the fee is AED 25 to AED 35 for same-day delivery, depending on the delivery time picked. This store also accepts one of the largest number of payment options I’ve seen!

L’Couture

L’Couture is a Dubai-based store that focuses on quality athleisure wear that fits a wide range of sizes. Most clothing types have their own size guide to ensure the fit is accurate, which I appreciate.

For me, this shop makes it super easy to match gym shorts and leggings with sports bras since there are tons of neutral and signature colors here. I also suggest checking out the seasonal collection for some great finds designed in-house!

Just note that next-day delivery is available here at AED 20 for orders under AED 200. If what’s in your cart is over AED 200, delivery is conveniently free!

Are you a fan of the UK’s fashion scene? Next is a British brand for men, women, and children. Notable brands here are Adidas, Nike, Ted Baker, and Missguided.

I recommend going through the clearance category so you can order a bunch of items at their best prices. I also believe the “Shop by Age’ categories here can really help moms and dads shop for their kids—especially for last-minute gift deliveries.

The store offers next-day delivery too, but I like that you can order as late as 11:30 pm. There’s also free shipping for orders above AED 240 and a fee of AED 20 for orders below this cost. And if you have any concerns, the chat support here is live 24/7.
