It is without a doubt that Dubai is truly the number one city in the world. I’m just a regular employee here, nothing fancy, I pay high rents and sometimes go broke too, but just by thinking and realizing that I work and stay here, that makes me so thankful and feel so proud!
OMG! It's like a coincidence. I went broke twice last week (Tuesday and Friday), once the week before and five times in Soctober. Also, only last month I realised where I am, and god am I thankful. Proud, too, because I'm so much betterer than everyone else.

An interesting morsel of gossip is that the land it's going to be built on was sold to the Sultan of Brunei during the crash. I wonder if he is simply looking for a small return on his investment or perhaps something a little more substantial........

I know the team that worked on an alternate design for the same site (police college area).

The concept was Low, Medium & High density mix with a parkland and walking tracks to join Mall of Emirates to Madinat.

Such a shame they chose the most god aweful option simply because of the Mall!!

These malls are starting to make beautiful ruins.

Masha Allah!! What now awaits us is just nothing close to the most incredible and remarkable projects ever in human history. Everything in the plan seems so well defined and fabulous like a dream being shaped into reality. Welcome to the future everyone & Good Luck Dubai. May Allah keep us blessed all the way through. Ameen!

Soo much butt kissing and platitudes in those responses.

Wouldn't this Mall take a huge chunk of business away from MOE.

Yeah the penchant for: adulation, waxing platitudes , butt kissing and the customary invocation of crediting god , is soo profound in the Mideast amongst locals and certain expats, it really is hard to tell if that's not satire.

The best place in the world? | The Sunday Times

I am guessing that they think another mall will attract even more tourists, according to this article Dubai Mall has had more visitors than all major tourist attractions around the globe.

For the record I don't think Mall of the World will happen though. #bubble
