In order to get more accurate results, the main objective of this research was divided into very specific contexts which all explored the concept of online retailing in UAE at the final point. One particular aspect to examine is to find out the current attitude of the UAE population towards online shopping based on UAE web stores. And further look into what commonly motivates the customers to go online and buy their preferred items instead of going to a physical shop.

Secondary data is collected from one hundred thirty academic journals (e-journals) from different parts of the world and text books studied from literature review perspective; The Primary data is collected by executing an online survey served through questionnaire (questions resulted from factors and variables collected through studying e-journals).
