Dubai’s iconic Mall of the Emirates is getting a jaw-dropping Dh5 billion facelift – and it’s going to be bigger, bolder, and more brilliant than ever before.

The massive expansion, already underway, will add 20,000 square meters of retail space and welcome over 100 new stores, solidifying the mall’s status as one of the Middle East’s top shopping and leisure hotspots.

The mall’s owner, Majid Al Futtaim Group, is pulling out all the stops with a mega-investment that promises to redefine the future of mall experiences. Think next-level entertainment, luxury wellness, chic outdoor dining, and even a cultural hub.

“Two decades ago, Mall of the Emirates set a new benchmark. Today, we’re building on that legacy with a bold investment that redefines what a mall can be,” said Khalifa Bin Braik, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Asset Management.

What’s Coming?

• New ‘Indoor-Outdoor’ Precinct: Expect an all-new open-air F&B courtyard – a green oasis for foodies opening early 2027.
• Wellness Club & Cultural Hub: Already in progress as part of the Dh1.1 billion initial rollout.
• Covent Garden Theatre: Set for a mid-2025 soft launch, with a grand opening later in the year.
• Lifestyle & Entertainment Zone: Opening in 2026, this zone will feature four brand-new entertainment concepts.
• The revamped West End District and the debut of barrierless Parkin parking for seamless access.

Roadworks & Access Upgrades

New routes from Umm Suqeim Bridge and Sheikh Zayed Road are already complete, in collaboration with Dubai’s RTA, making your trip to the mall smoother than ever.

What’s Next?

MOE’s transformation is far from over. More high-end restaurants, elevated experiences for VIP shoppers, and top-tier attractions are still under wraps, but the big reveals are coming soon.

Vox Cinemas is already launching the world’s most advanced IMAX experience, and there’s more to come by late 2026.
