Retro's Mall To Be In:

Now we all heard of all the malls we have here in Dubai. There are so many malls such as Mall Of Emirates, Mercato Mall, Town Center, Dragon Mall, Ibn Batutta Mall, Marina Mall (Dubai Marina) and so on. I think that those are enough malls in Dubai but Dubai keeps on building more and more malls. It's nice to get a chance to explore the New Dubai (Bye Old Dubai, We'll Miss You).

Now which is the Mall To be in?

Dubai Mall is the Place to be in. Now forget Mall Of the Emirates, that mall is literally boring. The only good thing about Mall Of The Emirates is that they have a Virgin Megastores that is a billion times better than any of the branches located in the UAE and that they have Ski Dubai (an indoor Ski & Snow Park). Oh Yeah and a Metro Station.

So what does Dubai Mall have to offer the world?

Dubai Mall has so many things to offer, they have an amazing book store called Kinokunia (sorry if I spelled it wrong), Some amazing electronic stores, A bunch of clothing stores (Start with the letter A and ends with the letter Z. Such as: Hang Ten, CK, Gucci, Prada, Bossini, Zara and so on), they have both Formal and informal clothing stores (Bloomingdale's has just opened this month at Dubai Mall). They also have an amazing food court (we even have our First Halal Taco Bell) and it ranges from expensive (Karma Cafe) to Less Expensive (Taco Bell, Mc Donalds, Baskin Robbins & so on). For all you ladies out there, Dubai Mall is one of the largest malls in Dubai and that means that they have the largest Gold Souq here. Prices may vary during the DSF. Now for all the children here, Dubai Mall has some really nice stores for the young ones (Sega Republic, KidZania -Now the kids can start training for some of their future careers like being a pilot and so on. Also Hamely's Toy Store is NOW Open for everyone ).

Now For us Teens, What does Dubai Mall have to offer us?

Say Hello to Reel Cinemas, Enjoy a luxurious treat with nice fluffy seats and watch some amazing movies (WARNING: Side Effects Include: Overdose of Happiness, turning into a Shoppaholic  and dizziness as well as Nausea (from too much fun)).

Calling All Chocoholics:

Please direct your taste buds to Dubai Mall as you can go to Dubai's largest Candy Shop Ever. Experience delicious New types of chocolates (such as Tea infused chocolates & Chocolates with different types of twists like citrus flavor, chili flavor -yuck and so on) and if you are interested in candy (there is Taffy, Fruit Rollups, Tootsi Pops, Lolli Pops and so on.) And with all of this, you can even buy your own bag of mixed Jellybeans. Imagine how wonderful that sounds, and to make things even better, Dubai Mall is not as expensive as most malls in Dubai. The prices here vary. It all depends on what you buy.

Home Department:

Dubai Mall also has a Home Decor Department. In this department, there are many stores that sell furniture for your homes. These include beds to sofas to chairs to kitchens and so on. If you're interested in buying some furniture. Please STAY away from the following stores, since they are expensive for no reason:
-Iwannagohome (the name sounds corny and their furniture sucks big time and the prices are outrageous)
-Armani Home (Most of their products are made up of cheap materials except for their kitchen department).

Coffee anyone? Lets sit outside on the terrace and have a wonderful cup of coffee or even have a meal and just sit and enjoy the fantastic Dancing Fountains in front of the Burj Dubai  Khalifa 
Last but not least, if you have to do some last minute grocery/supermarket shopping, step right up into the Waitross Supermarket or if you want to try something Organic, then visit the Organic Market. Both of them are located in the Lower Ground Level of the mall.

Education Wise:

Dubai Mall has a great place to get some sort of education, other than going to school or to the university, why not explore the Marine life by visiting the Dubai Mall's Aquarium. You can learn about the different types of fish and other exotic animals and now Dubai Mall has their own set of Penguins at their discovery center. There is even an underwater zoo, where you can see all the sharks, stingrays, hamours (the local type of fish in Dubai) and the rest of the 330000 types of species. The prices for both the Underwater Zoo and the discovery center is 100DHS per adult (I'm not too sure about the prices for kids)***
Now, as for the Children, you can now let your kids go and start training for their future careers over here. There is a place called KidZainia, where your children can start learning more about their future careers and even get a head start on them. They can choose to be either Teachers, Artists, Pilots, Firefighters and much much more.

Are you convinced yet? Well I hope so, because to tell you the truth Dubai Mall has EVERYTHING you can imagine, except a Virgin Megastore (those B@$#!%!$ for treating me with disrespect) but if Dubai Malls open  that, then EVERY single mall in Dubai would go bankrupt. This is from my point of view of course. So if you're game, then come on down to the mall. This is the place to be in. Also this mall offers a great form of exercise because since the mall is about 12000000 square feet, then you can walk around the entire mall and of course lose weight as you go shopping :)

*** Prices may vary when it comes to visiting the Underwater Zoo and the Discovery Center, because if you want to go on a glass-bottom boat ride, that costs you an extra 25DHS per person and if you want to feed the fish in the 5 story glass aquarium then that costs 5 DHS per Jar per person (you literally buy a jar of fish food and feed them yourself, NO, you're not swimming with them, you're feeding them from the top of the aquarium)
