About

More a city than a mall, The Dubai Mall mixes haute couture with high-street, a gold souk wing, a huge food hall and entertainment from ice skating to VR. It's the easiest place to escape the midday heat and it opens straight onto the Fountain and Burj Khalifa.

Things to do

  • Browse Fashion Avenue for luxury flagships
  • Skate at the Olympic-size Dubai Ice Rink
  • See the Waterfall sculpture with leaping divers
  • Refuel at the rooftop-view Time Out-style food halls
