You missed fireworks, not anymore....plan your trip every Friday 9.11 and your eyes will thank you immensely, visual treats are best at festival plaza arena, library is another mindful treat
The mall is big. There are many unknown brands- Chinese, Arab clothing stores. But there are also well-known global brands - Massimo Dutti, Tommy Hilfiger, Zara and a few more. There are no luxury brands. The shopping center is connected by a passage to Ikea, there is a large supermarket. There are many cafes and restaurants grouped by price category, from inexpensive fast food to fairly large, beautiful and expensive restaurants. I liked the Food Market area - it's beautiful, clean, great variety, reasonable prices for Dubai, there's a stage in the center where there's live music in the evenings. Not bad, but more at the amateur level.
She also attended several concerts on the embankment, which unites them- poor organization. Let's say a singer performed with one song. Then there's a break of 30-40 minutes, filled with nothing but background music, to which some people walk around the stage, carry something, go out and leave. There is no presenter. It is impossible to keep the public's interest with pauses of 40 minutes after each number.
Fountain show on the embankment near the mall. In general, leisure is varied, but shopping is not impressive.
Visited Dubai City Mall Festival on January 3, 2025 We went to the Imagine show, but we didn't get there. Although the advertisement says that until January 6, every day at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. We didn't have time for 18 o'clock, at 20 o'clock there was an average fireworks display. There was no image show. There was no official information about this. In the whatsapp chat of the mall, they wrote to see the current schedule on Instagram of the mall, but there is also no specific schedule by day. It may not be held in windy weather. The mall itself is located away from public transport. Unless you can take a ferry across the Dubai Canal to the metro station. But the ferry runs for up to 20 hours. It's best to take a taxi straight away. Besides the imagin show, which we didn't get to. There is also a Pluma circus. He may have only been there at that time. In early 2025. The prices are reasonable, about $25 a ticket. We decided not to go there. There is also a good hypermarket in this mall. Where there is ready-made food. The prices are reasonable. Shawarma 7 aed. Salads, pastries, sea products. You can buy food with you. He works late. Actually, the rest is a typical mall...shops, etc. I think it's worth stopping by. You'll either get to the fireworks or the imagin show. Someone might be interested in the circus. At the same time, buy a food option. And take a taxi to... home
Everyone who is in Dubai for the first time, be sure to go to the festival.
The beautiful effects of the tallest building along with the singing fountains will delight you.
A large number of tourists every day, as well as food courts nearby
A good mall, everything you need is there. Conveniently located. But for something more interesting, you still have to go to the Dubai Mall ... we are waiting for the opening of our own Mall in Creek Harbor)
One of my favorite shopping malls, there are always a few people, there is an incredibly atmospheric and delicious restaurant, singing fountains in the evening, you can take a boat ride
The shopping center is small, some of the shops are not chain stores, next to Ikea. There is a beautiful fountain, accompanied by music and a laser show on the jets. There were also interesting fire cannons or torches. There are not very many people, maybe because they were on Ramadan. But it's interesting to see to compare with the main fountain near the Dubai Mall.
"I visited the Festival City shopping mall in the center of Dubai and was impressed! A large selection of shops, restaurants and entertainment make it an ideal place for shopping and relaxation. The atmosphere is filled with energy and liveliness, and the views of the river and the embankment are simply amazing. A great place to spend time with family or friends!"
A good mall. There are all famous brands and boutiques. On festival days, there is a laser fountain show on the square in the evenings.
It's very spectacular.
Ikea is two-storeyed here, the choice is large, everything is cheap. There is a large grocery store on the second floor. There are sofas to sit on if you are tired on the second floor. The only thing that bothers is the toilet. He is like a gopher: you see the sign and it seems that he is there, but he is not. Dubai Mall is 10 minutes away by taxi.
The big pier. There are outlet stores with branded items at pleasant prices.
A laser show from the Guinness Book of World Records is taking place next to the pier. Imagine. In August, it worked Fri-open, so the best thing in advance is not the time of the show.
There is a good food court in the mall and a lot of entertainment for children.
Downstairs, you can easily take a state taxi.
I recommend

There is a good neighborhood mall, the choice of shops is not so large, but there are the main ones: ikea, Zara, handm, massimo dutti, Nike, adidas, under armor. A good exchanger with a normal exchange rate in front of IKEA. There is also a large carrefour hypermarket. Parking is free, you can always find a place. It's not crowded. %arabica was removed from the cons
You should not come for the sake of a light show, it lasts just a couple of minutes. And then the shopping center advertisement. But in Russian
You can safely walk and shop in the shopping center, there are no crowds, but for me, Emirates is better and more convenient.
There is a food court.
Near the main square where the show is, there are kid-friendly rides for toddlers. And some kind of entertainment.
Everything would have been great if we had gone to the fountains with the children, but the formidable African decided to change our plan for the next half hour. For this reason, we decided to go on a total shopping spree and buy to the fullest, everything that is missing in our small town. 🇷🇺
A good shopping center, there is everything you need. Convenient location, intuitive to understand where and how to find. There is an Ikea. 2 grocery supermarkets from different sides
Ohhh, a shopping paradise! There is an indoor, cool, but very long passage from the metro right to the mall. Inside is everything your heart desires! Free coolness, everything else is for money. There is no alcohol in the cafes in the mall, but it is in the building next to it. The prices are decent.
A great place to spend time, a very cozy and warm atmosphere, a large selection of shops and assortment, many places where you can go to relax, I really liked it
A very cool shopping center, there are many branded stores, excellent restaurants, especially Turkish Village, very tasty Turkish food with their traditional serving. Performances with singing fountains take place every day. There is everything you need here, and there is not a large crowd of people like in the Dubai Mall. There are always free spaces in the parking lot.
A standard Dubai mall, but we went to it to visit the laser show that takes place behind it on the street by the fountains. The tourists visited the McDuck, the children rode mini go-karts.
Dubai City Mall. There is a huge selection of goods and services, all brands are available and if, for example, you take electronics, iPhones, action cameras, then you can buy cheaper than in Russia.
A good mall, there are fewer people than in the Dubai Mall. There are many mid-level brands, not luxury ones. A good Lulu hypermarket, good cafes, there is a Starbucks and Gloria jeans coffee. In the evening, a light show on the street. Parking is free.
A good place to relax from the sweltering heat, we were in June))) Everything is on the level! The main thing is that the air conditioning system works well! Shopping is standard, the staff is friendly.
I wasn't inside, I came to the singing fountains. Just amazing! If you want to diversify your vacation, you can get here. I liked it even more than the singing fountains at the Dubai Mall. There are fewer people.
We got to the cartoon, which was projected on the fountains at 21:00, as far as I understood, it will run until April 2023.
We got there like this: by metro on the red line we switched to the green line. To the final green - Creek, then you need to go down to the marina Al Jaddaf. Buy a ticket for 2 dirhams in total! and now you are already near this mall.
I really like this mall. Quiet, calm. There are no long queues in the shops. I am a fan of Brand for less, it is in this mall that there is always a good choice! I recommend it!
Not far from the airport, but you need to take a taxi, there is no metro station nearby. It seems like you can take a bus, but you haven't tried it.this mall has IKEA, a huge number of shops and food places. There are also light and musical "singing" fountains. The show is short, but very beautiful.
