Forever Rose started out as a store selling treated roses that last forever. Now it's a trendy café, opened in November 2020, that never lets up. It all starts with the monochrome black-and-white décor, followed by trompe-l'oeil and the sensation of being in the middle of a comic strip illustration. The clientele is mainly local, with a few influencers and their followers. Lavender or orchid latte, melting chocolate and caramel ganache for the "Lava of Love"... What an atmosphere!

Compared to its neighbour Al- Ghurair City, Al-Reef Mall is a small shopping centre. Modern and human-size, it is pleasant to visit for those who do not like crowds or large spaces. There are various brands of clothes, leather goods, jewellery, decor, optics, sports... The children's area, with bright colours, is very attractive.

Al-Ghurair City is a former mall now renovated but without special charm if compared to its large competitors. Quite spacious, clear and modern, it does not have any special interest, except if you live in the neighbourhood. It has an interesting choice of international signs (Benetton, Esprit, Mexx…) a Starbucks, a few dining points, a children's space and a cinema of 18 rooms, anyway. To report, the proximity to the nearby Toys'R US.

Theoretically, tourists are refused to sell a bottle or a simple can to tourists because they do not have the famous licence that residents get. In order to enter, one must certify having reached the reasonable age of 21 years and swear not to be Muslim. Afterwards, it is Bachus live. But above all, never consume on the public highway. The transport of alcohol is prohibited without a license, it is better to avoid the caramboler full trunk. So, you don't buy in shops, you don't even think about it, you have a drink at the bar of your hotel.

For 70 years, Al Rifai has been the undisputed leader in the Middle East for dried fruit. Lebanese, they choose their producers very carefully and roast the crops themselves. They offer more than 35 varieties of dried fruits, including pistachios, cashew nuts, dried apricots and many others. They can be found in several shopping malls in the city and even at the airport. Don't hesitate to ask them to taste them before buying, they will be happy to offer you some just warm ones.
