Dubai Mall (originally known as The Dubai Mall, until 2023) (Arabic: دبي مول "Dubai Mall") is the largest shopping mall in Dubai. The mall is part of the 20-billion-dollar downtown complex called Downtown Dubai that is adjacent to the Burj Khalifa, and includes over 1,200 shops.[1][2][3] In 2011, it was the most visited building on the planet, and attracts over 54 million visitors each year.[4]

Twice delayed, Dubai Mall opened on 4 November 2008, with about 1000 retailers. In January 2023, the shopping mall announced that it was officially changing its name from "The Dubai Mall" to "Dubai Mall".[2][5] Dubai Mall has received a record 105 million visitors in 2023, a jump of over 19 per cent from the previous year which had 88 million visitors.[6]

In June 2024, real estate developer Emaar Properties announced a 1.5 billion dirham ($408 million) expansion of Dubai Mall.[7]
