Dubai Retail is making waves in the city’s shopping scene. This unified brand combines 10 malls, 15 lifestyle spots, and 18 retail centers, creating a diverse shopping experience across Dubai. With over 6,500 retailers and more than 13 million square feet of space, it strengthens the city’s appeal for both shoppers and tourists.
A recent highlight is the Palm Jumeirah Mall, formerly Nakheel Mall, which has been revamped. These updates enhance its role as a key destination on the famous Palm Jumeirah, offering visitors more engaging experiences. Malek Al Malek, CEO of Dubai Holding Asset Management, noted how crucial these spaces are in shaping the retail landscape. He emphasized that Dubai Retail leverages the greater Dubai Holding ecosystem to adapt to the city’s growing population and booming tourism.
The newly launched Nad Al Sheba Mall and the upcoming Al Khail Avenue, adding 1.2 million square feet when complete, showcase Dubai Retail’s commitment to expand. Fareed Abdelrahman, Managing Director of Retail Destinations at Dubai Holding, explained that being a leader in mall development is just the beginning. The aim is to meet the changing demands of residents and tourists by aligning with global shopping trends and enhancing customer experiences.
Some of the iconic malls in Dubai Retail’s lineup include the Palm Jumeirah Mall, Nad Al Sheba Mall, and Ibn Battuta Mall, among others. They are complemented by lively spots like Bluewaters, JBR, and Souk Al Seef, which offer a blend of retail, leisure, and cultural experiences.
Moreover, the 18 retail centers are strategically placed in key residential areas like Jumeirah Park and Al Furjan, ensuring easy access for residents. These developments reflect a vision for making shopping and leisure accessible to all.
According to recent surveys, more than 70% of residents believe that shopping centers play a vital role in their community life. This trend shows how retail is not just about shopping; it’s about creating spaces where people gather and enjoy life. Dubai Retail is not only meeting those needs but pushing the boundaries of what shopping can be.
