Dubai Marina Mall is a perfect shopping, dining, and leisure centre with breathtaking water views that have made it one of the most preferred style centres in Dubai. It is smaller compared to the mega malls in the town but has successfully incorporated all that tourists desire in a city, such as high-street fashions, cafes, and restaurants, where the family can have fun in family-friendly entertainment facilities, and convenient access to the Marina Walk.
Be it the tourists visiting the bustling Dubai Marina or the locals seeking a comfortable place to shop and relax, this mall balances both diversity and comfort. We will discuss all the things you should know about Dubai Marina Mall in this guide.
Overview of Dubai Marina Mall
The Marina Mall is located in the core of one of the most iconic waterfront residential areas in Dubai, the Dubai Marina. The mall that covers 140 outlets, 21 restaurants, and 390,000 sq. ft. is tiered across four levels that combine high-street fashion brands, outdoor dining in front of a glistening waterfront, movies at Reel Cinemas, entertainment for kids, and even allows them to shop in a supermarket.
Having a smooth, modern, classy architecture, open area, glass windows, and abundant natural light, it is convenient to move around and accommodating to visitors. It is also directly connected to Marina Walk and surrounded by some of the most expensive houses and hotels, making the mall feel like a lifestyle centre rather than a mere shopping centre.
