Shopping
The Dubai Mall
More than a mall — a cultural destination with aquariums, waterfalls, ice rinks and 1,200 stores at the foot of Burj Khalifa.
01About
The Dubai Mall
The Dubai Mall extends over 1.1 million square metres and hosts an aquarium tunnel, a human-height indoor waterfall, an Olympic-sized ice rink, a VR park, Dubai Dino, and every major luxury maison — as well as the region's finest concentration of dining. The exterior terraces overlook the Dubai Fountain.
Visitor Tip
Enter through the Fashion Avenue Grand Atrium for the best sightlines; reserve a fountain-view table at Thiptara or Zheng He's for the evening show.
