Dubai Mall to get a massive expansion with 240 new restaurants and shops

The AED 1.5B Dubai Mall massive expansion comes with a whopping 240 new eateries and retail outlets to look forward to

Are you ready for the biggest mall in the UAE to get even bigger? That’s right, Dubai Mall is all set to get a massive expansion very soon.

One of the biggest malls in the world is about to get bigger, announced owners Emaar Properties.

Expect 240 luxury retail and dining options to be added to the site, with an AED 1.5 billion investment to be made into the Dubai Mall expansion.

Currently home to more than 1,200 retail spaces, Dubai Mall hosts two anchor department stores in Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s. In addition to opening the Fashion Avenue and the extremely popular Chinatown extensions in recent years, the mall also features 200 food and beverage outlets.

At 1.2 million square metres, Dubai Mall is the second-largest shopping mall in the world by total land area. In 2023, it was the most retail and lifestyle destination in the world as it raked in more than 105 million visitors.

If the gigantic Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, an ice rink and a 24-screen cineplex weren’t enough entertainment – we can’t wait to see what the redevelopment has in store for us!
