There's a reason why Dubai calls itself the shopping capital of the Middle East...

In the Gulf News on Thursday, it was discovered that sexually enhancing products were being freely sold on the streets of Deira.

The creams and gels are being sold mostly in shops selling products imported from a non-Arab neighbouring country, based in the Deira souqs and on Riqqa Street.


Some creams contain hormones, which could affect pregnant women and those taking oral contraceptives. For the most part, Dr Mariam said the creams caused skin inflammation. Other products would simply not work at all.

But the real question we should be asking is, does Dubai live up to its name as a bargain capital, or can people find these products elsewhere for cheaper???
