Dubai Mall, the emirate’s biggest shopping mall, is set to open a new section at the start of the holy month of Ramadan, which will likely fall on March 1.

Mohamed Alabbar, Emaar Properties’ founder, took to X to make the announcement, adding that the new section will feature 65 exclusive brands and F&B outlets.

In June 2024, Emaar Properties announced a massive Dh1.5 billion expansion of Dubai Mall. It will include 240 new luxury stores and food and beverage outlets. The contractor is already mobilising on-site for this large-scale project.

Dubai Mall was named the most visited place on Earth in 2023, achieving a new attendance record with 105 million visitors, a 19 per cent increase from the previous year.

It is the world’s second-largest shopping mall. Currently, the mall spans 1.2 million square meters and is already home to over 1,200 retail outlets.
