How big will the Mall of Arabia be?
The Mall is planned to be the largest in Dubai and one of the biggest in the world. It will have over 1000 retailers, depending on the requirements of the tenants. Around ten percent of these will be food outlets. There will be a large international hypermarket. The Mall is designed to provide themed areas or “destinations” to make shopping easier, so that those wanting, for instance, to visit luxury shops or have treatment in the spa, will be guided to a quieter part of the Mall, away from the children’s play area, the food courts, the electronic goods and technology stores, the bowling alley or the sports and leisure activities area. In the centre of the Mall will be an open area for theatrical or promotional events and exhibitions. The Mall will provide covered parking for over 10,000 vehicles.
