    Al Faisalia is one of the famous shopping mall here in Riyadh. They have a huge selection of designer shops like Nike, Zara, Mango etc.

    The mall is connected to the high rise building (as shown in the photo) and it has a restaurant on top.

    The good thing about the winter sale is that, they dont go for 10-30% off from the regular price but moreso they reduced the price upto 70% off. Mind you, that those are not off season clothes but the latest designs..

    They have wide selction of vegetables, meat, and other grocery items. They sell several Asian items both for Filipinos and Indonesians.

    It is one big shopping mall which has one floor exclusive for ladies :-)

    Mostly designer and hig end shops like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Coach, Zara, Lacoste, Nine West, Ferregamo, Burberry etc..

    They were on sale during the first time i was there..so most of the ladies went gahgah over the 50-70 percent sale.

    The only drawback when shopping for clothes is that they dont have fitting rooms. So, you can only try on the clothes that you bought once you're home and if it doesnt fit or doesnt look good on you...you can bring it back to them within 3 days for the exchange of goods.

    SHOPPING TIP:
    Pls check the labels that says where their product was made. Some of the high end shops for wallets,bags, shoes etc are made in China. Unlike LV and Hugo Boss....you really get the worth of your money....Its made in Italy and Germany..

    Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics, perfume

    as low as 50 riyals and as high as 50,000 riyals

    Olaya is also famous for electronics , computers and computer's accessories. The place is usually flocked by men and very seldom i see women in this area.

    Check the price and bargain before buying. Also, check the warranty of the products.

    Jarir has quite a few locations around the Gulf States.
    I bought a laptop from them almost 2 years ago, and have had it serviced and de-virused for free on a couple of occasions, in both Jeddah and Riyadh.

    Books are really cheap and they have a wide selection - light romance novels to autobiographical and biographical accounts of life in various Arab countries. All the latest topsellers also. Even Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks!!
    There is also greeting cards, wrapping paper, school/writing stationery, diaries.
    Foreign magazines (no FHM/Playboy/Sports Illustrated/Maxim though) are popular, but quite pricey (off the top of my head SR55/US15 for a Cosmopolitan).

    From SR2 for an HB pencil, up to SR10,00 for the latest laptop.
    Once you've spent SR500, you can get a discount card which gives you 10% off books.

    Saks 5th Avenue is a showcase of lots of designer pret-a-port clothing.
    You can get Prada FMB boots and Galliano balldresses, even Moschino suspenders and DKNY running shoes.
    This is where anyone who's anyone in Riyadh buys their latest attire if they're trying for a 'Western' or 'European' look.

    Everything is pretty reasonably priced by designer standards, and taxfree of course.

    So ladies, stock up on some designer undies starting from SR1000 (US266) a set. Which would probably be the cheapest thing there.
