The Mall of the Emirates
The
Mall of the Emirates, formerly known as “Souk Al
Nakheel”, will be located next to interchange four
on the Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, the principal traffic
corridor of Dubai. The development will have over 350
shops and 223,000 square metres of prime retail and leisure
space and it will be the biggest Mall outside North America.
The project will include the world's biggest indoor ski
resort using artificially created snow. The development
combines dramatic contemporary design with traditional
Arabic architecture with every section having a distinctive
style and a unique atmosphere.
Construction began on the Mall in late 2003 and two of
the region's leading retail companies, Broadway Trading
and the Landmark Group, have already secured 28,000 square
metres of retail space, which will house more than 20
of the world's most exciting brands and outlets. In addition
to retail brands, Mall of the Emirates' facilities will
include a 400-room hotel, the largest single-level Carrefour
hypermarket in the Middle East, two major department stores,
a 14-screen multi-plex cinema with VIP facilities and
numerous food and beverage outlets.
