We prefer this mall above Dubai mall as it is less crowded and more easily to park your car. We were here in june 2022 and we did notice it is low season but the mall was very quiet, even on weekends.
We visited the Imagine show twice and that always stays wonderful, but we were missing the lasershow onto the IC Hotel, as they would use to do. Also all the market stalls were closed and that was a pitty.
Did notice that not all shops have survived the pandemic as the large sportstore was missing in the corner next to Centerpoint as well as the Old Navy store was missing in the mall.
Hope they will get the activities running here again next time we come around, as it needs a good vibe to attract more people.
