With the announcement of a new Ikea store being opened in Jebel Ali, many residents celebrated the news – mainly residents who live in Dubai South.

It got us talking in the Lovin Dubai HQ about trips to Ikea, which are probably going to become a little more common now we are going to have a store within taxi-distance.
