Dubai-based mall operator Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) has launched a new concept of smaller sized convenience stores under the brand name of Carrefour City in Dubai.

The Mall of the World, which will become the world’s largest shopping mall, will see construction starting from first quarter 2015, according to Dubai Holding.

Dubai Festival City has launched the second phase of its on-going retail expansion, allowing space for more fashion and lifestyle brands.

About 600,000 visitors from 197 countries reached Dubai while visitors from GCC countries reached 166,945 (28 per cent of the total number of guests).

Mall of the World, the latest addition to Dubai’s retail, hospitality and leisure offering, is expected to boost visitor numbers and further strengthen the emirate’s mall development pipeline, industry experts said.

The Dubai Mall is “a beacon of hope” and offers Arabs the economic and social freedom they need to compete in the modern world, Emaar boss Mohamed Alabbar was quoted as saying in a report by a British newspaper on the world’s biggest mall.

Mall visitors can flurry to the malls for their chance to jump on board in the bid to win top prizes. Players can delve into each mall’s personalized version of their favourite board game, with jumbo dice, life-sized Monopoly cards and chances to land on Ski Dubai, VOX Cinemas or iFly Dubai to win instant prizes, in addition to earning points on traditional MONOPOLY houses.

Dubai Mall is currently testing a new system to help forgetful visitors locate where they have parked their cars in the parking lot, owner Emaar has confirmed.

Dubai developer Emaar has unveiled an exhibit featuring a 155 million year-old dinosaur in its popular Dubai Mall, it announced on Tuesday.

With its shopping scene dominated by mega malls and shopping complexes, Dubai easily takes the cake as the region’s leading retail destination.
