THE EXPERIENCE
Discover Dubai Mall
Dubai Mall is both a shopping destination and a starting point for several Downtown attractions. Retail, dining and indoor leisure share the same complex, while the nearby lake promenade connects the visit to the city's landmark skyline.
Choose your priorities before arriving because walking between venues takes time. General mall exploration and paid attractions are different budget items, so a shopping stroll can remain simple while aquarium, skating or observation experiences require separate planning.
- Shopping and dining
- Several separately ticketed attractions
- Access to the lake promenade area
