I hate the place

Ronnie Biggs

Why? I hate Marina Mall....

Blue Cat

too big, you have to walk for miles!! Marina mall is confusing as well but better than Dubai Mall

Madam Medusa

oh me too, it's soooo bad...the shops are all kinda airport size, total waste of space...

MM, xx

The Dean

There is no such thing as a good mall.

Some are terrible, others are just very bad................

............ and has anyone here ever been seen - dead or alive - in a "food court"????

Blue Cat

when you have a 4 year old they come with the territory

Just went to one today.....in mirdiff CC.
Missus and I needed hangover recovery so pizza hut it was.
The meal deal we got comes with wedges right.
Wait for the meal and she serves and there's no wedges. i ask why not and she says....it only comes with wedges if you get thick crust....not thin crust which we had.
WTF - what sort of rule is that? no price diff between thick or thin.
rules for the sake of rules in this place.

Needless to say I argued and got wedges in the end.


Also, missus wanted water instead of pepsi....they couldn't arrange that either as the meal only comes with pepsi.

yup - Dubai are going to talk themselves out of business.
we went to Atlantis to see the "lost chambers" on Thursday evening - totally empty restaurants. our family and other families were all having the same problem...
"can I have a table for four please?"
"sorry no we work on reservations only"
"but your restaurant is empty...."
"we work on reservations only"

was tempted to stand next to them make a phone call and reserve for right away, but it really didnt look that good, so we drove back home via the world's most expensive council estate / building site / 6-lane motorway aka the Palms

they want to change their attitudes or more people will be made redundant

Confucius

Dubai Mall is the last remnant of the extremely vapid and extravagant Dubai lifestyle promise that died in October 2007...

Blue Cat

you are right there, now they just need to finish that bloody tower off and get the roads done and we might get back to 'normal'.

Confucius

It will never be normal...You need a damn GPS just to know where you parked and how to get in parking and how to get the *uck out!!!Do people really, really, need that big a mall???

I saw someone like that watching a game of cricket on telly once, in Lahore Paksistan. He was sort of wandering around the stand of the stadium with kids literally hanging of his various limbs whilst they smiled at the camera. I dont think it was human.

iphone has a "where did i park" app... i'm not kidding

Blue Cat

it is just vile, the only reason I will ever go again is for the organic supermarket
