Lonely Planet review for Dubai Mall

With around 1200 stores, this is not merely a mall but a small city unto itself, with an Olympic-size ice rink, a huge aquarium, indoor theme parks and 160 food outlets. There’s a strong European label presence here, alongside Galeries Lafayette department store from France, Hamley’s toy store from the UK and the first Bloomingdale’s outside the United States. It’s a ginormous, daylit mall with wide aisles and lots of open spaces, atriums and even a fashion catwalk. The four floors are divided into ‘precincts’ with clusters of product categories: search for high-end designers on Fashion Ave (which has marble floors and silver resting divans), high-street fashions on the ground floor and activewear next to the ice rink. There’s also a four-storey waterfall that’s gorgeously lit at night. The Gold Souk at the centre of the mall is dominated by the beautiful Treasury Dome, but pathetically undervisited.

    This mall is huge to say the least. It is very open and has everything anyone can want in a mall. The touch screen maps are a nice touch to find your way around. The aquarium is beautiful and breath taking. It is in the Guinness Book of World records for the largest acrylic piece used in an aquarium. Lots of fish, rays and sharks and the tank is incredibly maintained. The Ice / Hockey rink made me want to strap my skates on and play hockey in Dubai! It was open to public skating when I was there but a group ready to go play hockey were lounging in a cafe right next to the rink. We went through the not so traveled Gold Souk and it was beautifully decorated and made you feel like you were no longer in a mall but a small ally Souk somewhere else. You cannot possibly see this entire mall in one day and I only got to see a small portion in the couple hours I was there.
