    The Dubai Mall, which has 1200 stores, cafés, restaurants, and an ice rink spread across 16 levels, is the biggest mall in the world. Very big and congested, yet you can find anything there. It's an independent, international world. Remarkably, transportation is well-planned and always accessible. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best malls in the world.

    A snapshot visit how the other half live. Really opulent in a slightly OTT way. The tour lasted about an hour after the buggy rider from the JBH. Quite expensive (399 AED) but definitely a once in a lifetime thing, I'm never going to spend the sort of money needed to stay in the hotel.

    This would be a very nice place if you have kids to visit with your whole family. It’s very enjoyable and very nice to take photos there.

    Has something of a souk like atmosphere in a purpose built relatively modern pleasant setting. Quite a good selection of items on available including some better quality. Good choice of restaurants in the complex as well.

    One of the best places I visited and I recommend every one to go with their kids
    Educational, motivate thinking and movement
    Clean , friendly guides

    The only thing I would recommend for this place is to offer towels for the kids after the water play
    And to asks the parents to have extra cloths with them before going

    Thank you for amazing experience

    This is different than the glorious Abu Dhabi grand mosque, but just as valuable to visit. Here we enjoyed dates and pastries, learned a bit about the live falcon available to view, and most importantly had a chance to learn about Moslem prayers. Our guide "Ahmed” was excellent. By example, we learned about the washing prior to prayer, with our shoes off we walked around inside the mosque learning about different rituals, and had many questions answered. Culturally interesting and educational as the slogan says “Open Doors, Open Minds.” If needed, visitors can borrow head or body coverings for their visit.

    We treated our daughter to this as a birthday present and she enjoyed it. They did exactly what was advertised and it’s a great safe environment to have a close encounter with a sea lion.

    The only thing that’s insulting is the price they charge for photographs. No one within our group bought them and for £30 for one photograph & over £200 for a package it’s not easy to see why. This is double the price that similar places charge like Discovery Cove in Orlando for example.

    Thankfully there is a viewing window and so we were able to see our daughter enjoy her experience and the smile on her face from there.

    Wet suits, towels and cold drinks are provided.

    It's hard to rate six star products like Emirates offerings. I traveled through covid and have been steadily increasing my global movement back to prepandemic levels. Consequently I have experienced products like the Emirates First class lounge prepandemic, during and now post pandemic (if there will ever be such a place!).

    On this latest trip, and I was only here a month ago in February there has been a significant leap in quality, service and a general sense of being "open". Not sure what has changed behind the scenes but the First class treatment Emirates is famous for is back and on steroids.

    First the food. The sushi is now crazy good. Presentation, real caviar, taste is all top shelf. I sampled a series of dishes a la carte and from the buffer and all spectacular. The general service is back up to full staffing, and it's clear. Full chef compliments and all areas open. The spa didn't even have time booking issues, which has been a problem for obvious reasons.

    Do this experience at least once in your lifetime and try and create a five or six hour layover so you can really enjoy it!

    Do I like the back to better product? You bet!
