Dubai’s shopping malls aren’t just extravagant; each one is different from the other, treating visitors to equally captivating experiences that go beyond just shopping. If you’ve booked a stay in the city through Staycae or any other rental provider, and you’re looking to enjoy the best shopping experience in Dubai, these shopping malls should be on your list of places to check out.

Dubai Mall

Featuring more than 1200 stores and outlets, the Dubai Mall is bound to have everything you’re looking for. But it’s also a great place for a day out if you’re travelling with family. It features the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, a giant ice rink and many other attractions that’ll make it harder to leave the longer you stay at any of the vacation rental apartments in Dubai.

Mall of the Emirates

Merging lifestyle and luxury, this popular mall is not just about retail. Yes, it features over 600 retailers, but if you ever need a break from shopping, you can catch a movie at the VOX Cinema, meet a few penguins at the ski slope or simply enjoy a delicious meal from any of the cafes or eateries.

City Walk

This open-air space offers a completely different experience altogether, with its thoughtful design and layout that’s sleek and stylish. Low-rise architecture and tree-lined avenues create a distinct European-like setting, where walking between stores and boutiques feels like an adventure.

Mercato Mall

Charming cafes, scenic streets and elegant boutiques all work in tandem to create a little piece of Italy in Dubai. Stepping into Mercato Mall feels like entering a beach town; its courtyard-style layout gives way to a relaxing atmosphere where you can browse through shops or stop by a cafe at your own pace.
