Dubai Mall is one of the largest shopping and entertainment destinations in the world, sitting right at the base of Burj Khalifa in the heart of Downtown Dubai. Beyond the shopping, it's a full day-out destination in its own right — an aquarium, an ice rink, an indoor theme park, a waterfall feature, and direct access to the Dubai Fountain, all under one roof.
Even for visitors who aren't big shoppers, it's worth a walk-through simply to see the scale of the place and to reach some of Downtown Dubai's best-known attractions, since Burj Khalifa, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and the Dubai Fountain viewing areas are all connected to it.
