Dubai Mall is said to be the world’s biggest shopping Mall. You will probably know all the brands there. However, the thing is they are ALL there, even some more edgy like Dyptique! And it’s nice to get your Ladurée, Repetto’s or your favourite jams from Fortum & Mason if it’s been a while you went to Paris or London.

Then, there’s the aquarium, lots of restaurants and cafés, cinema’s and a crazy attraction in the evening: the water fountain show. Watch the water jets swaying to the sound of music. It’s very popular. Some restaurants have a view on it but they are not really good (except maybe for Sake no Hana that make decent sushis but they are on the quieter side and have just a few tables with a view)

Besides this, there are some interesting boutiques too to point out:

• S*UCE (pronounce « sauce »)
• Anthropology of Design AOD 
• The Dubai Mall’s Level Shoe District : a paradise for shoes addicts
• Symphony : a multi-brand store of international designers brands
• The Majlis Dubai: a tea-room where you can buy and taste Al naasma Camel milk Chocolate
• Japanese Bookstore Kinokuniya: have forgotten a book? They’ve got you covered! HUGE store!
