Dubai’s breathtaking structure, luxury living, and grandiose centers have made it a playground for the rich and famous. The city is now rumored to be building the world’s largest mall. The project is owned by Sheikh Mohamad Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, and it will be built on a vast area of 48 million square feet. The mall’s architecture and design is inspired by New York’s Broadway Street and London’s Oxford Street and is located within a brief distance of the Emirates Mall and a short drive away from Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, and downtown Dubai.
The grand mall will welcome 75 million visitors per year, more than the Eiffel Tower, Disney World, and Niagara Falls combined. It will include 1,200 retail stores as well as 20,000 hotel rooms, an aquarium, and a theater district in addition to an ice skating rink. In addition to these grand areas, the mall will host the world’s largest indoor theme park.
What is brilliantly thought out at the “Mall of the World” is the development of a wellness district for medical tourists. All areas within the location will be climate controlled, including the project’s 4.3-mile promenade connecting various areas.
Dubai is taking a groundbreaking direction for its economic growth. While most Arab countries rely on oil for profit and income, Dubai places its investments on tourism and trade businesses. Their malls alone are able to entertain and cater to anyone’s needs, providing luxury through the most basic shopping destination. It is easy to observe the scale at which Dubai is exponentially growing. It is a cosmopolitan city amidst the Arab world that is not afraid to entertain, proving itself to be a hub for workers, businessmen, party people and tourists, and growing by the minute.
Dubai has raised the bar, transforming itself from a desert into the New York of the Arab world. Whether it be the fountain that makes your jaw drop with awe or its intimidating buildings that challenge engineering, gravity, and conceptual architecture, Dubai is everybody’s city of lights.
