The mall is connected to the Dubai Metro at Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station via a long pedway system which takes about 15 minutes to get to. The At the Top experience for Burj Khalifa can also be accessed from inside the Dubai Mall. There are also quite a few domed areas and nicely decorated walls that look great in pictures. There are many attractions in the mall too like an ice skating rink, a giant aquarium and indoor art installations. For example there is an area called Fashion Avenue which has more of the upscale fashion brands, a Souq area with Arabic style shops, there is Chinatown which has restaurants and stores catered to Chinese, a sports area, children's clothes area, etc. There are a lot of different themed areas and the mall itself is nicely organized to have similar shops in the same area. The best part about this mall is how clean and well maintained it is. When we went in November there was lots of Christmas items and displays that we appreciated. We did quite a bit of window shopping and buying here as there are a lot of brands from all over the world and we felt we got some good deals on some new clothes, shoes and other items too. The Dubai Mall is part of the great Downtown Dubai area and is connected to the Burj Khalifa and offers a variety of terraces to view the Dubai Fountains and Burj area. There is a lot to see and some very nice shops and restaurants. We didn't want to spend too much time here but found ourselves here almost everyday during our trip to Dubai. Just make sure you know how to navigate through their parking lot, as getting a taxi out the front door will be near impossible! I always had to go through the basement and that was really confusion for me personally. Realistically you will probably go more than twice. Many stores, many attractions, many things to enjoy. It is a must visit if you will be in Dubai. You can fit in an indoor boat tour with fish feeding, but can't make the food court bigger? I really recommend this becomes a priority because it was the biggest flaw of this mall.Įither way, this place fits its fame. Make the area bigger to fit a better proportion relative to the rest of the mall. They did not let you eat outside the food court, so I feel like this really needs improvement if they will have such a rule. Way too small for a mall this big! This was very packed and it wasn't smooth to walk around here at all. It was very packed, but the traffic of movement seemed to flow well so you won't get stuck between people. They have basically everything you can think of, and definitely everything that is popular in the world of fashion. I am missing well over 80% of all the other options that mall had in this review as well just so you are aware. Wow! Need I say more? It felt like I was in a Richie Rich comic. There was an ice rink, and an indoor skiing section. There was a small zoo as well, with a big alligator and many other animals. There is an aquarium with penguins and sea lions, sharks and turtles, jellyfish, and all other types of ocean animal life, even with a boat tour option INSIDE THE MALL. Am I nitpicking? probably, because this mall is extremely impressive. For being the "best mall in the world", it was hard to give it 5 stars for this. Some sections do have the high class brand stores, but everything was spread around. I found no actual order to the layout of the mall. Very big and a little convoluted with its paths, so download their map app and use the free wifi. Very high-class mall, just as the stories tell.
