The
Dubai Mall (Arabic:
دبي مول "Dubay mwl") is a shopping mall in Dubai and the largest mall in the world
by total area. It is the nineteenth largest
shopping mall in the world by gross leasable area. Located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, it is part of the
20-billion-dollar Downtown complex, and includes 1,200 shops. In 2011 it was
the most visited building on the planet, attracting over 54 million visitors
each year. Access to the mall is provided via Doha Street, rebuilt as a
double-decker road in April 2009.
Twice delayed, Dubai Mall opened on 4th November
2008, with about 1000 retailers, marking the world's second largest-ever
mall opening in retail
history behind West Edmonton Mall. However it is not the largest in gross leasable space,
and is surpassed in that category by several malls including the New South China Mall, which is the world's
largest, albeit largely derelict, Golden Resources Mall, SM City North Edsa, and SM
Mall of Asia.
The Dubai Mall is home to just about every major
fashion brand in the world. Adorned with a 440,000 square feet Fashion Avenue,
which is recognized as the largest collection of fashion brands under one roof
anywhere in the world, The Dubai Mall is set to become the next fashion capital
of the world.
The Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue comprises of high
and mid-fashion retails outlets that pay homage to haute couture and some of
the finest designer brands in Dubai. The Fashion Avenue’s grand decor
complements the endless rows of elite fashion names, and aficionados that have
the potential to spoil shoppers with choices, as they mix and match clothes and
accessories to their heart's content.
