IllustrativeFestival Plaza
A functional community mall anchored by IKEA and a Géant hypermarket.
An early estimate with no source on file yet — confirm before relying on it.
Overview
Festival Plaza was built around two heavyweight anchor tenants — IKEA and a Géant hypermarket — making it an unusually practical mall for residents of Al Furjan, Discovery Gardens and the surrounding communities. The wider retail offer is modest, but few Dubai malls give you flat-pack furniture and a full grocery shop under one roof.
