Stroll around the Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping centre

Covering more than 800,000 m², the Dubai Mall is considered to be the largest shopping centre in the world. In fact, it contains 15 shopping centres within its walls. So whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it at the Dubai Mall. Food, decoration, souvenirs, clothes... it's all there. Fashionistas will be delighted as more than 1,200 shops are open to the public.

And there's something for everyone, with 450 haute couture brands including Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton, as well as ready-to-wear brands such as Zara, H&m and Galeries Lafayette. Children and adults can also take a tour of the world's largest sweet shop, which occupies 930m². Impressive!

The Dubai Mall is more than just a shopping centre. It's a veritable city centre inside, where you can spend days without setting foot outside because there are so many activities. In fact, it's the preferred option for locals and tourists alike when it's hot and humid outside, but make sure you bring a jacket because the air-conditioning is very low and you may feel cold when you enter. Whether you're on your own, a couple or with children, there's no shortage of things to do, including the aquarium(one of the largest in the world), the Olympic ice rink, the 22-screen cinema and the Sega theme park.

From the shopping centre, you can access the Burj Khalifa and its observation platform. You can also stay at The Address Dubai Mall. Here you can enjoy a breathtaking experience as you climb to the 125th floor for a panoramic view of the city. And to get back down one floor, a glass slide lets you slide down while having the impression of being in a void.

The Dubai Mall is packed with restaurants and cafés. There are over a hundred establishments where you can take a break from shopping and sample cuisine from around the world. Whether it's a quick meal, lunch or a hearty snack, you'll be spoilt for choice: Italian, Japanese, Mexican, American and even French.

For a snack, you could go to the Cheesecake Factory, whose pastries look delicious, or to Café Blanc for a view of Dubai's fountains. We also recommend the Indian restaurant Peppermill, whose culinary flavours are unquestionable, or the Tulum Restaurant, for a taste of tasty Mexican cuisine.
