Dubai Marina Mall is open
Shame only 10 of the shops inside are...
And the only 'food' place open is Cinnabon...
Easy walk to it in winter from JBR, but in the summer I can't see why it'll be better than Ibn Battuta.

Re: Dubai Marina Mall is open
Anyone been in the Dubai mall recently?
I went two weeks after it opened to see what the fuss was about. A great big barn is what I found, although the aquarium is decent. I haven't been back even though it's slightly closer than MoE.
It's more convenient to go to MoE, park, and reach the stores. Anyone have any idea if the Dubai Mall is doing ok....?

It's not doing too well I hear. But then I don't imagine they expected huge footfall in the first few months.

Re: Dubai Marina Mall is open
Is it a lack of stock?

Re: Dubai Marina Mall is open
lack of stock, totally incompetent staff including the manager, loads of items not priced and then they can't find the price when you want to buy it, things out on display that aren't acutually for sale...you know, typical dubai-stylee...

I guess i need to go, just to satisfy my curiosity.
my Inlaws live right next to the Marina Mall. That will be great when it is finished.
There is a cinema opening?

The Gourmet Tower sounds interesting though... a tower of posh restaurants. Not open yet.

Went to Dubai Mall yesterday for the first time. Huge place and only every third shop open, but it will be great when finished. The bookstore is brilliant! In itself, worth the visit. Won't go again for a few months in the hope more stores will be open.

It's on Dubai Marina Drive (the road that runs above and to the side of SZR, on the desert side of the Marina). Near the new Radisson. I don't know if the parking entrance/exit direct to SZR is open yet, but you can go to the parking via Marina Drive.

It feels tiny after the big malls here, but it's still empty (first day and few shops open). I find it faintly depressing - for some reasons small, multi-floor malls always feel that way to me. At least you can escape outside and go look at the Marina!

Anybody have any idea when the Waitrose is likely to open in Marina Mall? Spinneys on Marina Walk is getting too darn busy these days.

There is ample parking on the beach next to the Hilton a five -minute walk. You may be able to park closer on North Marina Drive near Bahar.
