Shopping in Abu Dhabi

  1. A

    Marina Mall

    The biggest and glitziest mall in town, located on the Breakwater, is shaped like a big-top circus, although it's inspiration is supposedly the Bedouin tent. It has several hundred shops, cinemas, a viewing tower, and a snow park is currently under construction.
