Dhabi’s latest giant shopping centre.

on a man-made island and is set to become the second largest shopping
centre in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The sprawling complex
is predicted to attract 20 million shoppers per year and will cover a
235,000 square metre plot on Yas Island, which is also home to the
Ferrari World theme park.

Dhabi International Airport, it will be home to over 400 shops,

complex, a family entertainment zone, and Abu Dhabi’s largest
hypermarket.

the largest Nike, Adidas, H&M and Zara stores in the region, plus
the first Abu Dhabi outlet of U.S. clothing store Brooks Brothers,

British stores in the line-up, including House of Fraser and Abu
Dhabi’s first Hamleys toy store,
And, with 10,000 spaces

your vehicle.
