Dubai- a land once lost under the deep dunes, rose to become an icon of metropolism and the future. Here every street, every skyline tells a story of vision, ambition and endless hunger to reach bigger dreams. The city flaunts its grandiosity with pride. With the tallest tower kissing the clouds, beaches basking under the sunlight, and wealth flowing freely like the Arabian Oud, Dubai feels nothing less than a fairy-tale fantasy.
Dubai Mall is located in centre of downtown. Spanning over an area of 3.77 million sq. feet, this King Kong is the flagship mega project by Emaar Properties. It is a place where you will not only drop your wallets but also your boring adult life. Do you want to have a heart-skipping experience? Then Dubai Mall is brimming with surprises at every corner. This blog will narrate about top things to do at Dubai mall.
Things To Do At Dubai Mall
This section is filled with loads of fun and moments of joy as it will throw light on top activities that you can do at the mall.
1. Awe at the Aquarium
Start with a splash! Explore marine life from land. With more than 140 species and having the most number of tiger sharks in the world, the Dubai Aquarium is the largest one in the Middle East. With a staggering height of 11 metres and 10 million litres of water, this is the first ever suspended indoor aquarium you will ever get to see. Take a stroll in a 48-metre-long tunnel to have a perfect “under the sea” moment (Imagine yourself as a mermaid if you wish to). Can’t enjoy the view with too many crowded tourists blocking your way? Go backstage and meet the marine life in person. You can feed up to 50 rays, touch various sharks (if you have the guts), and even go snorkelling in the deep waters. The choice is all yours! Just don’t forget to smile and pat the little creatures on the back.
2. Shop Your Heart Out
What is Dubai Mall without some shopping spree? With over 70+ international brands and a whole area named Fashion Avenue, Dubai Mall is heaven for every shopping addict. From artefacts, and exquisite jewellery to chich fashionia attires and sleek gadgets, this place has got you all draped over. Don’t feel panicked if your bank balance starts screaming. Because the pain will all be worth it.
3. Get Slippery at Ice Rink
In the mood to escape the boiling heat of the city? Take your feet to the Ice Rink located in the mall. Pack your experience from the 4 given there at the mall. This includes Snowfall, Public, DJ and Disco Night (the most popular choice which has a DJ and snowfall). The ice rink is perfect for those who don’t feel any shame even in the “slip of a tongue”.
4. Play in Other World
Are you a tech geek? Do you wish to run away from your life problems (and your mother-in-law) only to never return? Then get dissolved in a fictional world that seems more real than reality itself. At Arcade and Play DXB, you can relive your childhood memory of running to an arcade. Only this time, you will step into the whole new arcade games you never thought of. Having all the modern technological Oculus, you can immerse yourself in the virtual life however you want to. This place in the Dubai Mall is heaven for all mad geniuses who keep looking for innovation in style.
5. Test Your Limit with E-Karts
Love living on the edge? Then test your limits at EKart Zabeel. Mind you this is not your ride on a lazy day. It is jammed with all the badass cars with engines like horsepower. Want to make your heart pump all the adrenaline rush in you? Then get in one of the karts and drive as if you are racing a Formula 1. Don’t forget to wear a safety dress before jumping in.
6. Binge Watch Movie at Reels Cinema
Thinking of winding down for a bit after a tiring day? Take a break in Reels Cinema. Binge-watch your favorite movie in a reclining seat (Yes, you can even take a nap if you want). Is the temperature a bit chilly for you? You can get a blanket to get all cozied up. What is a movie without some popcorn? Take your movie time to another level and order a full gourmet meal. The best part? You can even have a personal butler to serve you the piping hot food. At Reels Cinema you can have a blast time with your loved ones or friends. Don’t forget to choose a good movie for the ultimate experience.
7. Watch Over Dubai from Burj Khalifa
Do you have acrophobia? If not then it’s time to soar above the clouds (literally!). Take the elevator to the highest floor of the tallest building- Burj Khalifa. Whether you want to make a stop at the 124th level or wish to take the thrill to the 158th floor. Feast your eyes with the breathtaking 360-degree view of the whole of Dubai. You can even soak in the beauty with a telescope located on the 125th floor of the Dubai Observatory deck. Go one step ahead with Burj Khalifa Sky premium.
