Plenty of supermarkets around. Waitrose in Dubai Mall and Dubai Marina Mall are probably the high end, then there's Carrefour at Mall of Emirates and Deira City Centre, Geant at Ibn Battuta, Spinneys, Lulu's and Co-op.

The best are Spinneys and Waitrose followed by Carrefour (mall of the Emirates is better than the one in Deira) and Lulu hypermarket in Al BArsha is good for a lot of things too.
Just shop around and see where you feel comfortable!!

Tbh they are both about the same...

You will find one thing cheaper in Lulu than Carrefour and another item cheaper in Carrefour than Lulu etc...

I stand to be corrected though as I don't really do any shopping being a single male in Dubai

The only real difference that appears to me is that Lulu has more stuff (items as well as brands) from the Sub-continent while Carrefour (at least the one in MoE) has more stuff to the liking of westerners
