Dubai Mall’s growth continues with a Dhs1.5 billion expansion, set to introduce 240 additional luxury retail and dining options. This development aims to solidify its position as the world’s most-visited mall while offering an even greater experience for shoppers and tourists. Visitors should also note that paid parking has been introduced, applying to stays longer than four hours on weekdays and six hours on weekends.
