The world’s premier lifestyle and entertainment destination

The earth has a new centre. Located in the heart the prestigious Downtown Burj Dubai, The Dubai Mall, one of the largest malls in the world, will be the premier lifestyle destination for shopping and entertainment. It is a shopper’s paradise featuring 1,200 retail outlets, two anchor department stores, a 220-store Gold Souk and more than 150 food and beverage outlets – all masterfully spread over an astonishing area totalling 12.1 million square feet.

The Dubai Mall will offer an unparalleled retail mix combined with world-class dining, entertainment and leisure attractions that will revolutionise the concept of the shopping mall experience. Here, you’ll find the world’s largest single volume Aquarium featuring a 180-degree walkthrough tunnel and the world’s largest indoor Gold Souk. There is Fashion Island, a 440,000 sq ft precinct dedicated to haute couture. Kidzania is an innovative children’s ‘edu-tainment’ concept being introduced to the region for the first time, and for adrenaline seekers, there is an 85,000 sq ft SEGA Entertainment Complex.

Movie enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with a 22-screen cineplex, the largest in Dubai, showcasing the latest hits. An Olympic-size Ice Rink offers a winter wonderland away from the desert for a day of family fun. With undercover car parks accommodating 14,000 vehicles and an adjoining 5-Star Hotel, The Dubai Mall is expected to see more than 30 million visitors within the first year of trade.

The Dubai Mall will open its doors to the world in late 2008.
