ibn battuta all the way

Whoa one year after posting and this thread's still alive lol!

At the moment, my fav. one is MOE, in 3 years time it will be Dubai Mall

Each to there own, but I can't stand Mall's - there is nothing more boring to me then walking around a big marbled centre with awful music playing in the background.

This security guard describes it best to me:


Linky!

But I am like that anywhere - I don't enjoy shopping. I tend to have my mission; Go in get what i need and get the hell out.

I would much rather sit in down town Diera and watch real life go by whilst stoking on a shisha.[/url]

for me no.1 in those choices is emirates but my best mall is abu dhabi marena mall specially in the morning or day time its fantastic calm very calm and everything you need there ..... but its out of forum range

There are more, check this out:

What Dubai needs is an Istanbul-Style Grand Bazaar.

Big glossy malls with empty high street stores is repetitive and boring

I've got a soft spot for the City Centre. Although last time I was there it was crazy busy and seemed a bit run down as far as Dubai mall standards go. MOE is quite nice though.

I love Mall of the Emirates, my credit card is a great proof!

hmm, a few malls are not mentioned, I'm guessing you guys probably dont like it. I like a mall thats less crowded preferably the one that got stripped - Wafi Mall. A good place to chill and shop, another one with similar characteristics but more at a higher end would be Madinat Jumeirah !

Otherwise when you live in the Gardens - Jabel Ali, Batouta seems the best mall. Even otherwise its got a unique idea. Its got superb ambiance all around the mall. The only drawback for most famlies, It dosent have a very high tech play area for the kids and the food court is awful. Otherwise your away from the crowd that simply loafs around in City Center, Bur Juman etc. (I mean the high school kids who do nothing but look for skin and if the temper seems out of control, the look for blood too)

Besides, the women in Batoota are "fabloustic"
