There’s a high-end, yet laidback buzz about this modern addition to Dubai’s iconic waterfront. It was extended in 2017 and now boasts over 250 shops from the likes of IKEA and Marks & Spencer to the largest Zara in the UAE. This place is far more than a shopping mall though. It’s a destination that’ll keep you and your family entertained all day, with dining options like western favourite, Hard Rock Café, as well as restaurants serving more authentic middle eastern flavours. You’ll find a generous IMAX cinema complex, indoor trampoline park and regular live performances to suit the season. But, the pièce de resistance is the mesmerising light and water show, held for free at sunset. IMAGINE is a state-of-the-art show which uses giant aqua screens, 30 water fountains, fire and lasers to create a real wow moment that’ll leave a lasting memory of Dubai Festival City.
