Majid Al Futtaim, a leading shopping mall, communities, retail, and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, is marking the 20th anniversary of Mall of the Emirates this September with a celebration of its legacy as one of Dubai’s most iconic lifestyle destinations, while unveiling its future vision as the “Mall of New Possibilities.”
For the past two decades, Mall of the Emirates has been more than a shopping destination, evolving into a cultural landmark and a hub for community, creativity, and connection. Since its opening in 2005, the mall has set benchmarks for the region with world-firsts like Ski Dubai, flagship fashion and lifestyle brands, and a blend of entertainment and dining that redefined the retail experience.
Now, Mall of the Emirates is entering a bold new chapter with an AED 5 billion transformation. The project will introduce 20,000 sqm of additional retail, 100 new stores, and an enhanced mix of cultural, wellness, and dining concepts. Plans include New Covent Garden anchored by a 600-seat theatre, a next-generation wellness precinct, a new indoor-outdoor district, and immersive entertainment. This investment and bold refouding represents the next step in the mall’s journey to remain a global benchmark for lifestyle and leisure, inspiring and delighting visitors for decades to come.
