    This is the KINGPIN of malls. Bring money, a water bottle and a stroller if you have kids. This is a full day experience or multiple days.. it gets really crowded especially during fountain times...

    Went to this mall for sightseeing. Very busy but well organised. Popped into Carrefour to pick up some gifts. Also had bubble tea which was very good.

    This was a really busy place but very interesting. We did struggle a little with how busy it was but once you get through the main crowds it was ok. Would definitely go again .

    The dining options are equally impressive, with an array of restaurants serving cuisines from around the world. Sitting by the water while enjoying a meal is a highlight, offering spectacular views of the Burj Al Arab.

    This is a nice, well stocked, waterfront mall.

    There are lots of standalone food and beverage outlets as well a food court and a wide range of retail outlets for all budgets.

    It is next door to a huge IKEA and a Hard Rock Cafe.

    There is an impressive water show outside the mall every evening.

    This is a moderately sized but well stocked mall in Dubai Marina.

    There is a cinema, well sized supermarket, lots of retail shops and a wide range of food and beverage outlets, some of which have nice outdoor seating areas on the waterfront. A great place for yacht watching.

    There is also a zip wire over the water from a high rise over the water finishing in the mall.

    This is a lovely indoor/ outdoor development.

    There is a licensed area - C2 - which includes the Brass Monkey bowling and entertainment venue as well as numerous non-alcoholic restaurants. There is also a Roxy cinema.

    There are a decent number of shops, including numerous sports shops.

    An experience to say the least. Entered the market and as expected a few blokes came and offered us items.

    We spoke to a good guy who took us up to his show room. I can only describe the showroom as a flat you would live in but fully kitted out with bags ,clothing shoes, watches all items you that you would expect. We found 6-7 pieces we liked but these guys would not budge on price.

    Lowest on bags were 550 AED each for 2 of the bags and another for 750 AED watch was around 800 AED. T-shirt around 150 AED and the same for a Cartier bracelet.

    The watch and bags where to pricey for us so we moved on.

    Second show room not as good on the bags and clothes but fantastic watches.

    We had 2 watches they wanted 1400 AED and 1600 AED.

    Sandals 350AED
    Sunglasses 120AED

    After chatting to this vendor he went into some detail as to where the items come from etc he shared the top four

    1. China
    2. China
    3. Turkey
    4. Italy

    It seems nothing is made in Dubai hence in my opinion the higher prices. I've shopped in Turkey for much less and the quality was as good.

    All in all don't be afraid to vist, my wife is pregnant and these men are no way intimidating or rude. They offered us water and seats when shopping and were honestly nothing but nice.

    A pleasure to visit the market but just a little too pricey for us.

    Well worth a visit for the experience and maybe grab something nice for yourself.

    Vinay in Cara was so helpful when choosing my Eternity ring.
    Lots of helpful advice.
    Also gave us lots of options.
    I absolutely love my ring! It's so sparkly.
    I can't stop looking at it ✨️

    Too vast, easily get lost, can be tiring walking around. Lots to see and places to eat. Not the ideal place to shop if you’re on a tight budget.

    This place is a must to those looking for abayas or thawb. Love the variety and the fact that every shop has styles/designs that differ from others. To those planning to shop till you drop, you can rent a porter for your bags or just bring a small wheeled bag to store everything and make commuting easy.

    An unrelated sidenote, my husband got scammed at this area for a facial product to remove dark circles/large pores. These guys are everywhere; same dialogues but different shops they will bring into. So please be aware and reject these guys when they say they have good intentions to help, not expecting any payment and to follow them to a shop that sells the product

    This is a lovely addition part of Dubai Mall. There are lots of good shops to pick up souvenirs and a number of excellent licensed and unlicensed restaurants, together with Time Out Market and great views of the Dubai Fountains.
