Overview
Mall of the Emirates is one of Dubai’s best-known shopping centres, with more than 700 stores, a cinema, a community theatre and — its signature attraction — Ski Dubai, the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort, with real snow all year round. The Mall of the Emirates station on the Red Line could not be more convenient: a covered air-conditioned footbridge links the station directly to the mall’s upper level, so it is barely a two-minute walk from platform to shops. This makes it one of the easiest big attractions in the city to reach without a car.
