There is The Grove, a series of Parisian themed tree–lined walkways, The Gold Souk, showcasing 200 of the region’s most trusted jewelers, and Fashion Avenue, fast becoming a world–renowned fashion destination with Bloomingdale’s and Galeries Lafayette as anchor stores. Moreover, Dubai Mall is home to Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, the Sega Republic theme park, Dubai Ice Rink and The Dubai Fountain. The Mall also acts as a gateway for visitors to the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
MALL OF THE EMIRATES
