The Dubai Expat Diaries

There has been a new addition to the ever-growing list of shopping malls in Dubai, another one has just opened its doors in Dubai Marina. The Dubai Marina Mall boasts of a total of 160 stores, including a supermarket (the second Waitrose in Dubai), a six-screen cineplex, and a seven-storey Gourmet Tower.  Only a part of the complex is ready and most of the stores will open early 2009.

Mr Jim Badour, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Malls Group, said: “With the opening of The Dubai Mall, our flagship project, Emaar Malls Group has redefined the concept of shopping malls by offering a varied mix of shopping and entertainment options. Dubai Marina Mall will further build on this concept, and offer a refreshing shopping and leisure destination for residents in and visitors to Dubai Marina.”

Mr Ian Ferguson, General Manager, Dubai Marina Mall, added: “Dubai Marina is an established community with several thousand residents. Located in close proximity to the commercial and hospitality hotspots of Dubai, the mall will serve a large cross-section of the public. For visitors to Dubai, the mall’s waterfront ambience and unique mix of retail and F&B outlets will be a distinctive experience.”

Although it comes at a time when consumers are not too keen on spending, it may be good news for the Dubai Marina residents due to the lack of any other options in the neighborhood.
