Dubai Shopping Guide: Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall's Standout Features

One of the world's largest shopping malls, Dubai Mall offers much more than shopping, with its giant aquarium, ice skating rink and direct connection to Burj Khalifa.

Mall of the Emirates and the Ski Slope

Mall of the Emirates is famous for its real indoor snow slope (Ski Dubai); the experience of skiing in the middle of the desert offers visitors a unique activity.

The Tax Refund Process

Tourists in the UAE can get a refund on part of the VAT paid on purchases above a certain amount when departing from the airport; it's important to keep your receipts for this process.
