Mall of the Emirates

Before Dubai Mall, the most comprehensive and varied shopping experience was at Mall of the Emirates. This shopping complex features the famous indoor snow and slopes (and penguins!) of Ski Dubai, as well as a 14-screen multiplex cinema and Magic Planet, the largest indoor amusement park in the region. Among the shopping highlights: Harvey Nichols, H&M, M. Missoni, Marc Jacobs and Etoile, a chic, multi-label (Valentino, Dior and Chanel) women’s clothing store designed by Jacques Garcia.
