One of the world's largest shopping destinations, anchored by the Burj Khalifa.
An early estimate with no source on file yet, or too little sourced data to trust. Confirm before relying on it.
Overview
Home to hundreds of stores spread across a vast footprint, the Dubai Mall sits at the base of Burj Khalifa and beside the iconic Dubai Fountain. Beyond retail, it houses a full-scale aquarium and underwater zoo, an ice rink and a wide-ranging entertainment quarter, making it a genuine day out as much as a shopping trip. Expect large crowds year-round, particularly at weekends and during school holidays.
