The Dubai Mall is a must visit for anyone visiting Dubai for any amount of time. There are so many activities here that you may run out of time and energy before experiencing all of it. The shopping outlets are numerous and offer a wide variety of products at various price points. The food court is gigantic and has something for everyone to enjoy. And once you are done with shopping and dining you can always do the numerous side activities in the mall such as watching a movie or visiting the Dubai Fountain, Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Aquarium and underwater zoo, all of which are either situated within the mall or accessible via it. I would recommend to set aside a full day to visit this mall and all of its afffiliated activities. For example you can start the day by visiting the Aquarium and underwater zoo, go to the top of the Burj Khalifa around sunset for the best experience and watch the Dubai Fountain show at night, all the while shopping and dining as much as you want. The mall is easily accessible by metro, bus or taxi.

The dubai mall is by far the biggest mall i have ever seen. With 4 floors and tousands of shops you can get lost very quick. It is so huge that they have an underwater zoo, giant aquarium, big ice skating area, multiple stores of the same brand and yes you can find there EVERY brand. Please note that if you travel from the EU is is not aorth buying in AED since everythijg is more expensive by 200 euro (dior, LV, balenciaga, chanel etc...) and tax free is only aroun 4%! The best shop for me is Balmain since they have all the time 70-90% discount. How they manage to do that i don't know but it is for real. You've got there plenty of restaurants, exchange places with very good rates (discuss with them!) And make shure you keep the paper with rates on, if you have to exchange again just show them the paper they will give you the same or slightly less then what is written on paper. The dubai mall is a place four couples, singles, friends, families... all are welcome.

The Dubai mall is certainly worth a visit even if you aren't planning on shopping! it is absolutely massive and fantastic to view there are so many artistic sculptures and the human fountain is magical we spent 2-hours walking around it and didn't even buy anything. We valet parked which I feel is worth it if you are spending the day there doing activities. Not only are there plenty of things to do in the mall but it's close to Burj khalifa and the Dubai fountain. We spent hours there. For 105 AED I felt this worth it as after 4 hours of parking you pay 20 per hour anyway. Fantastic place.
