Zabeel is a modest extension compared to Dubai Mall — more like a stylish parking hub with shops than a full-blown mall. Simpler brands, a supermarket, plenty of cafes. Clean, organized, comfortable. Not a destination in itself, but convenient and calm.
I do not know who shops in this mall, or indeed in Dubai. The prices are horse-drawn, a huge territory with endless crossings and disgusting navigation. The first time we visited, we spent two hours climbing floors and escalators to find an exit to the fountain show and the Burj Khalifa. (Who doesn't know, there's only one exit from the subway, and to get to the sights, you need to go through the entire mall, and before that, you still have to walk 1.5 kilometers along the passage).
The third time, they "broke the system" and did not follow the whole crowd to the mall, but to the area of expensive boutiques, where only sheikhs hang around. So we managed to shorten the way to the fountains at least twice. A life hack for a note;)
Resume. It's worth going through once, to see the waterfall with pearl divers and the aquarium, after which it becomes an unavoidable evil on the way to the fountains and the burj khalifa, where we come once every time we visit Dubai, it's worth it.

Well, it's a little empty for now. To promote it, there is now a city taxi parking. As always, it's clean, spacious and comfortable. There are several manashins and a grocery store
