cant drive for 10 minutes and not come across a
mall. However malls here are not just for
shopping, but they are more like an experience.
For some reason it seems like malls here intend
to be a means of shopping cum entertainment cum
sightseeing. Like the city, nearly every mall in
Dubai has something unique to offer from ice
rinks to skiing to themes to souks. And each one
of them has its own unique charm and attraction.

What sets Wafi apart from other malls is perhaps
its extensive collection of artwork. Inspired by
both modern art and the legacies of pharaohs
past, there are extensive collections of art

6Mercato, meaning market in Italian, is the
first ever themed mall in the Middle East and
UAE. Based on a distinctive Renaissance
architectural concept, Mercato captures
traditional Italian, French and Spanish art. It
essentially portrays how a Mediterranean town
looked during the European Renaissance. Located
in the prestigious Jumeirah residential area, it
marks a clear departure from the Arabian
architecture. Piazzas, cobbled streets, and top
international brands all make for a fantastic
shopping experience. Children can play at the Fun
City while adults can take in a movie or relax by
the street cafes.

7The Ibn Battuta Mall is the proud owner of the
title of being the worlds largest themed
shopping mall. It is designed in honour of Ibn
Battuta, a famed Arabic explorer. Locals and
tourists alike are able to enjoy a shopping
experience that is also historically informative.
The mall is divided into six courts, each an
architectural reflexion of a region that Battuta
explored. Battuta who died over 600 years ago is
known as an Arabian icon and is remembered for
his strong Islamic values along with his
exploratory expeditions. There are 275 shops, 50
restaurants and a 21 screen cinema to give you an
idea of the Malls size. There is a large
exhibition centre called China Court which plays
host to a large range of activities throughout
the year. In the summer it hosts a variety of
markets which specialise in local specialities
including art and photography and ethnic
clothing.
