TL;DR
The chat suggests Al Zahia for budget-friendly shopping: it's about 20 minutes away by taxi and costs roughly AED 30, with a good mix of stores inside. If you're staying in a quiet area with few shops nearby, it's better to head straight to a mall, especially near the waterfront area.
A practical option for affordable shopping is Al Zahia: expect about a 20-minute taxi ride costing roughly AED 30, with several decent retail pavilions and shops there.
If your hotel or residence is in a quiet area, you may only find a few small shops across the road, so for proper shopping it's better to go to a mall.
A convenient option is a mall near the waterfront, so you can combine shopping with a walk, especially if the area around your accommodation has limited retail options.
