Ibn Battuta Mall
A thematically designed large mall — six courts inspired by Ibn Battuta's travels.
An early estimate with no source on file yet — confirm before relying on it.
Ibn Battuta Mall is architecturally distinctive, split into themed courts representing the regions the medieval explorer visited: China, India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia and Andalusia. The metro stop makes it unusually accessible for a mall in this part of the city, drawing shoppers from Discovery Gardens, Al Furjan and beyond. The theatre and cinema add breadth to its leisure offer.
- Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan residents wanting metro-accessible shopping
- Families who enjoy the themed architecture
- A Géant hypermarket run combined with leisure
- The long, linear layout means a lot of walking between courts
- Can feel dated compared with newer malls
- Weekend crowds in the food court
Spread across the themed courts, the dining offer covers casual chains, food courts and mid-market restaurants, with the Andalusia court particularly popular for evening meals.
