A 12 million sq. ft. shopping colossus, The Dubai Mall is not only the biggest on the planet but is described by developers Emaar as “indisputably the most dramatic retail real estate development ever”. Its aim is no less than to elevate Dubai from shopping capital of the Middle East to shopping capital of the world.

Despite its epic proportions, The Dubai Mall is only part of an even bigger development – Burj Dubai, an elite urban centre in Downtown Dubai which includes the world’s tallest tower. This lofty neighbour will provide a further boost to The Dubai Mall which expects to draw in excess of 35 million visitors in its first year.

The mall includes 5.6 million sq. ft. of retail space, of which 3.6 million sq. ft. is available for lease. One of the many innovations of this lavish development is ‘niche shopping’ – keeping products of the same category ‘under one roof’. The Dubai Mall is in fact an amalgamation of many individual malls, each catering to a distinct type of product.
