Located in downtown Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Mall has a total internal floor area of 5.9 million square feet which houses 1200 stores and a remarkable 14,000 parking spaces.

Dubai Night Life Shines with Lights, Sounds and Water

Every night the mall showcases the Dubai Fountain; an entrancing performance of light, music and water on the Burj Dubai Lake, unlike anything seen in Dubai before. This water show has already gained international recognition in the artistic world and is a favorite among mall goers. Exhibiting the U.A.E.’s cultural beauty and traditional attraction, the mall also features a Dubai Souk, and the world’s largest indoor gold souk. The souk will house a collection of over 220 gold and jewelry retailers.
