The Dubai Mall

Why go

Use Dubai Mall when retail, food and major indoor attractions need to share one stop. Its strongest planning advantage is proximity: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is inside, while Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain sit immediately outside around Burj Lake.

What to look for

• The aquarium's large viewing panel is visible from within the mall.
• Dubai Ice Rink introduces a full indoor ice surface to the desert-city setting.
• Waterfront exits connect the interior directly to Burj Lake, Burj Khalifa and the fountain.

Useful to know

• Choose one or two anchor attractions before arriving; the complex is too large for efficient aimless coverage.
• Allow extra walking time between the mall interior and the Burj Lake waterfront.
• Check each restaurant or attraction separately because their operating times can differ from retail hours.
