Dubai Mall - by Manfred Reinert from Pixabay
Description
The Dubai Mall is a very large-scale commercial development with over 1,200 shops - at the time of research it was the largest mall in the world by total land area. The Dubai Aquarium and Dubai Ice Rink can be found there as well as a 250-room luxury hotel.
Access & Transport
It is located within the Downtown Dubai complex which can easily be accessed by road (next to one of Sheikh Zayed rd interchanges) and by metro (it is connected to the Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall metro station by a very long elevated indoor walkway).
Instructions & Recommendations
Plenty of shopping options and near other activities such as the Opera, Dubai Aquarium, Dubai Fountains and the Burj Khalifa observation decks.
Environmental & Social
The entire complex required a lot of building materials and a significant energy expenditure every day for electricity and air-conditioning. Favours consumerism
Conclusion
This is a shopping destination that ranks very high in Dubai; it is also a good option for those interested in activities in the immediate vicinity such as the Aquarium, Ice Rink, the Fountains, the Opera or the Burj Khalifa observation decks.
