Mall of the World, a new super-sized retail centre will overtake Dubai Mall to become the largest mall on the planet. The mall, measuring 743,000 sqm, will include the world’s largest indoor theme park – covered by a glass dome that will be open during the winter – and a 7km ‘covered street network’. It will be the centrepiece of “the world’s first temperature-controlled city”, which will be located along Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road across 4.4 million sqm. Mall of the World will be nearly double the size of the Vatican City in Rome. And the ‘city’ complex, which will include 100 new hotels, will be more than twice as big as the Principality of Monaco. The project was launched on Saturday by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. “The growth in family and retail tourism underpins the need to enhance Dubai’s tourism infrastructure as soon as possible,” said Sheikh Mohammed. “This project complements our plans to transform Dubai into a cultural, tourist and economic hub for the two billion people living in the region; and we are determined to achieve our vision.” Aarika Global FZE
