Dubai Mall, the iconic shopping center of the city, began with a proposal aimed at increasing luxury tourism and attracting more visitors. The strategy for Dubai Mall was announced in the middle of this year through an announcement by Emaar Properties, which revealed the expansion of the iconic shopping site with an investment of 1.5 billion dirhams (142 million euros).
This renovation of the emblematic site will include 240 new luxury retail and dining establishments. According to its developers, this strategy will allow for an increase in the number of visitors and attract tourists from all over the world. The idea is to surpass the average of 105 million visitors per year by offering more spaces and activities that enhance their experience.

Meanwhile, the proposal is also complemented by the optimization of the traveler flow at Dubai International Airport, which anticipates a record number of passengers in the coming months and is advancing in the construction of a $35 billion passenger terminal at a second airport.

The expansion of Dubai Mall is part of the proposals from the United Arab Emirates that will also accompany the growth of the tourism sector in the region. As confirmed by the founder of Emaar, Mohamed Alabbar, this strategy “reflects Dubai’s ambitious vision to remain at the forefront of global innovation and culture, further solidifying our city’s position as one of the leading global destinations.”
Dubai Mall is considered the largest shopping center in the world, offering not only stores with the best brands but also regarded as an amusement park due to its wide range of options, including an aquarium, cinemas with 22 screens and luxurious suites with personalized service, restaurants, a five-star hotel, an ice rink, a novel game lounge, a bar with an infinite pool, and more options for all tastes.

For this reason, each attraction within the center is unique in itself, making it clear that opulence and vastness are part of this destination.

Everything is magical in this enclave, where there are also attractions based on Ghostbusters, Hotel Transylvania, or The Smurfs. The fountain in The Village is another point of great interest, featuring a retractable roof that opens during the winter months.
