The Dubai Mall is the world's largest shopping mall based on total area and sixth largest by gross leas-able area
A key centerpiece is Dubai Aquarium, one of the largest tanks in the world at 51m x 20m x 11m and featuring the world’s largest viewing panel at 32.8m wide and 8.3m high. Dubai Aquarium has more than 33,000 living animals, representing more than 85 species including over 400 sharks and rays combined.
Dubai Aquarium's 270-degree acrylic walkthrough tunnel makes for incredible close-encounter experiences with some of the most fascinating underwater animals on the planet. A special 'lunar-cyclic' lighting system will change the ambience of the tank depending on the time of day.
Underwater Zoo
Walk along the Rainforest, Rocky Shore and Living Ocean environments at the Underwater Zoo and you’ll find yourself face to face with dangerous Piranha, Giant Catfish, playful Otters, a Humbolt Penguin colony, and more.
Whether viewing the Rainforest from a suspension bridge high above the river and tree canopy, or reaching out and touching some of the more hardy rock pool inhabitants, this is an aquatic experience you will never forget.

Mall of the Emirates
On entry to this staggeringly large mall, you will be struck by the simple, bright and airy design, and though many of the shops it houses are also on the conservative side, there are more than a few gems. The self-proclaimed shoe museum, Bata, is one such store, as is the elegant Naturalizer, Braccialini and French jeweller Himat. Global chain stores like Debenhams, River Island, Nine West and Next take up the rest of the space. Oh, aside from that consumed by the mammoth ski dome
