Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the Mall of the World is planned to cater for 180 million annual visitors, with the roof extending Dubai’s normally seasonal tourism industry into the hot summer months. “Our ambitions are higher than having seasonal tourism,” said the UAE’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. “Tourism is key driver of our economy and we aim to make the UAE an attractive destination all year long. This is why we will start working on providing pleasant temperature-controlled environments during the summer months. We are confident of our economy’s strength, optimistic about our country’s future and we continue to broaden our vision.” Dubai’s Mall of the World will have its very own Oxford Street and Broadway. It will also have galleons, waterfalls, a giant retractable dome, and as if this was not enough, it will all be climate controlled! The plans for the Mall of the World include: •The world’s largest shopping mall, with a total of 8 million square feet of floor space •100 new hotels and serviced apartments buildings containing 20,000 hotel rooms •Largest indoor family theme park in the world •Cultural district including a theatre district modelled on New York’s Broadway, ‘The Celebration Walk’ modelled on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, and shopping streets based on London’s Oxford Street •Dubai’s largest events centre, accommodating 15,000 people •A 3 million square foot “wellness district” catering to medical tourists •Temperature-controlled covered retail street network spreading over 7 km The project will follow the green and environmentally friendly guidelines of the Smart Dubai model. It will be built using state-of-the-art technology to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, ensuring high levels of environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. |
