A Quick Look at the Wonders of Dubai Mall – The Most Epic Place for Shopping… EVER!
To visit the Dubai Mall is to enter a world where retail therapy reaches lofty heights. There’s something new to discover on every visit, with lots to do other than indulging your need to shop till you drop! Here’s what you should know before your first shopping spree at this amazing mall.

Planning Your Visit
Right in the heart of the downtown area, this mega mall is easy to reach, including when based at properties like La Suite Dubai Hotel & Apartments, ideal for repeat visits. This retail haven can be accessed via the Dubai Metro; hop off at Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Station and stroll over the air-conditioned Metro Link Bridge straight to the mall. Keep in mind that it opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at either 11:00 p.m. (Monday to Thursday) or midnight (Friday to Sunday).

A Retail Paradise
With over 1,200 stores, shopping here is definitely a whole-day adventure, which is why it’s a good idea to stay at hotel apartments near Dubai Mall. You will find fashion giants like Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s, and the ultra-luxurious Fashion Avenue, lined with designer boutiques.

Book lovers shouldn’t miss Kinokuniya (it has over one million books!), while Chinatown adds a vibrant Asian twist. Seamlessly connecting to the mall is Souk Al Bahar, an elegant Arabesque marketplace perfect for gifts and keepsakes.

Entertainment Galore
The good news (especially for those with kids) is that there’s plenty beyond shopping, too. Marvel at marine life in the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, or take the little ones to KidZania for hands-on learning fun. Thrill-seekers can race at EKart Zabeel or enjoy virtual worlds and games at Play DXB. For something “cooler”, glide across the Dubai Ice Rink or unwind with a blockbuster (or two) at Reel Cinemas.

Dining Delights
After all that shopping, you are bound to have a big appetite, but don’t worry, your stomach has lots to enjoy too! With 200+ dining spots, from global chains to fine dining, your taste buds are in for a treat. Grab a quick coffee, savour authentic Asian bites in Chinatown, or head to the Time Out Market Dubai at Souk Al Bahar for a curated foodie experience. Whatever your craving, Dubai Mall serves it with style.
