Mall of the Emirates

Dubai

Shopping is just the beginning of the experience at this place, which is as much of an entertainment centre as a mall.

With 6.5 million sq ft of space, it boasts more than 450 stores, as well as a breathtaking array of family fun, including Ski Dubai (the first ski resort and snow park in the Middle East), an art gallery, rides, games, and a 14-screen cinema.

There are even three hotels on site.
