THE MALL OF THE EMIRATES

The Mall of the Emirates is a shopping mall in the Al Barsha district of Dubai

Prior to the opening of the Dubai Mall (the world's largest mall), the Mall of the Emirates was the second largest shopping mall in the Middle East, slightly smaller than City Stars mall.

 

 Its biggest claim to fame is the Middle East's first indoor ski slope, Ski Dubai. 

 

 With the ski area, one of the largest in the world, the Mall of the Emirates seeks to differentiate itself from the dozen or so other newly completed malls in Dubai and the surrounding Emirates.

 

 Half of the mall opened in September 2005, then officially opened in late November 2005 with the inauguration of the ski area, although it had already been in operation for several weeks.

  For all sorts of  games and amusements one can go up to the magic planet. elevator is near the ski dubai
