IllustrativeFestival Plaza
A functional community mall anchored by IKEA and a Géant hypermarket.
An early estimate with no source on file yet, or too little sourced data to trust. 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.
