Souvenirs ,Where to Buy The Best Souvenirs in dubai

The word ‘souvenir’ is a French word meaning memory or remembrance. Souvenirs can also be called mementos, keepsakes or tokens of remembrance and can be any object that someone keeps hold of, for the memories it brings back. 


Although most often associated with gift shop products such as miniature replicas of famous UAE icons, including Burj Al Arab , the Burj Khalifa and the Atlantis Hotel, a souvenir can be anything that has been acquired by someone during their travels. It may not necessarily have been a purchase and the item itself may be meaningless to anyone else, however it has a strong significance to the owner, as a symbol of a previous experience.

Souvenirs are not always associated with geographical locations either. They can be memorabilia of special events and merchandise of popular sports teams or entertainment such as movies.

Different parts of the world have their own take on souvenirs too. For example, Iran  has Minakari which are usually Hand painted copper or pottery  associated with the different regions of the Iran.

People not only buy Dubai Souvenirs  as tokens of memory of their own travels, but also to give out as gifts to friends and family and when they return from their holiday.
