aws cp ignores --exlude string mentioned as variable

A current project directory is in an Amazon S3 bucket and I want to download some of the directories to an EC2 instance excluding few directories.
I am able to download desired directories only when I am mentioning explicitly --exclude options on the aws command below.
archive.bash
aws --region=xxxxxxx s3 cp ${S3WebAssetsPath} ${contentFolderPath} --recursive --exclude "*dir1/*" --exclude "*dir2/*" --exclude "*dir3/*" --exclude "*dir4/*"
S3WebAssetsPath="Source s3 path"
{contentFolderPath="Destination Local folder"
But when I am programmatically forming a --exclude string and storing it in a variable. Then the aws cp command ignores excludes directory command and download all the files in the path. e.g:
excludeDir="--exclude "*dir1/*" --exclude "*dir2/*" "
aws --region=xxxxxxx s3 cp ${S3WebAssetsPath} ${contentFolderPath} --recursive ${excludeDir}
Could you please rectify if anything I am doing wrong?
