Mall of Dubai

It just opened not too long ago so i am heading to there in 45 minutes.  This is the biggest Mall in the World. 

The Dubai Mall will be a leisure and entertainment destination for the entire family. Children can role play at KidZania, a unique ‘edu-tainment' concept where they learn how to be an adult in a fun, meaningful way. Spend the day at the SEGA indoor theme park and get a high adrenaline rush or enjoy learning how to skate at the indoor Ice Rink. Everyone can watch the Dubai Aquarium or visit the Underwater Zoo to learn something new, all before visiting the Observation Deck at Burj Dubai, the gateway to the tallest building in the world. Or, be spoilt for choice at the 22-screen cinema playing the latest films from around the world. The Dubai Mall will be a family destination for all ages, all year round.















There is a video here but i cant watch it or put it in the post.  if it is any good or cool in anyway feel free to post it?

Getcha visit in quickly, it'll all be desert again soon.

Dubai is a hell-on-earth, no one should ever want to see it for any reason.

Looks like you need a week just for the mall. Now on to the waterparks!

Wow, what an incredibly well-written, horrifying article.  I think everyone needs to read this.

After reading the article, it's almost as if it would be a risk to go there, imo.

SluggerWV: 

that looks really cool

How big was the bookstore?




They had a Borders and it was not bigger than some of the Barnes and Nobles and Borders in the states.
